It’s Season Preview week at Phillies Nation.
As we look ahead to the 2017 regular season, we have to ask some tough questions. Chief among them: What’s the worst that can happen this year with the Phillies?
Usually, Philadelphia sports fans know better than to ask “what’s the worst that could happen?”
The Phillies are the team that was the first to record 10,000 losses; worse, few were surprised when they did. They had several years of abysmal drafts that slowly drained their farm of quality contributors. In their majestic playoff run from 2007 through 2011, they seemed to do worse in the playoffs the better the team got.
