We’re at that time when every fan is riddled with excitement and thinks to themselves, “Why not us this year?” If you haven’t been guilty of this, you’re kidding yourself.
As I was guilty of asking myself that question, I pumped the breaks and realized the Phils are still smack-dab in the middle of their rebuild. However, this is the year we’re supposed to see some of the top-notch prospects we’ve been hearing so much about. After the 2017 season, I believe the bigger picture will be much clearer as the Phils inch closer onto the back-nine of the rebuild.
