With the modern statistics available today, player evaluation is much different than it was in years past. Some players who were maligned as underachievers in the past might be viewed as underrated in today’s game. Conversely, some “stars” of years past might not be held in the same regard today. I thought it would be interesting to take a look back at some names in Phillies history and see how they’d be viewed today.
Last year, I examined the Phillies career of Gregg Jefferies, and determined that he would indeed still be regarded as a disappointment.
