There are only three games left in the Phillies disappointing 2015 season and they currently hold just a one game lead over the Cincinnati Reds for the worst record in baseball. If the Phils can hold on to that “lead”, as it were, it would secure for them the top overall pick in the 2016 MLB Amateur Draft.
Finishing with the worst record in baseball isn’t something ownership, the players, or the fans aspire to accomplish. But the one bright spot as a reward for such a dismal six month season might be the potential elite talent the Phillies can secure with that pick.
