Phillies baseball in the early 2000s was a time to forget. From 2000-06 the team won 85 games five times but never made the playoffs. We saw the ends of the Terry Francona and Larry Bowa eras. Several high-profile players like Scott Rolen and Jim Thome came and went.
By the end of the decade we saw the greatest era in Phillies baseball history with homegrown stars like Chase Utley, Jimmy Rollins, Ryan Howard, Cole Hamels, and many more.
But those big stars took the limelight off some of the Phillies other productive players who helped either carry the team to a championship or performed well when times were tough.
