Very little is expected from the 2017 Phillies in the won/loss column, but the organization as a whole has been widely regarding as one of the deepest in baseball.
That has been on full display this spring, especially in their very deep middle infield. Shortstop J.P. Crawford, has been one of the top prospects in the game the past few years, has had a very impressive spring thus far. He is expected to see the Phils starting lineup by the trade deadline, but a few lesser known young players may push general manager Matt Klentak into a trade months before he was fully prepared to do so.
