Should The Phillies Be Worried About Andrew McCutchen?

The short answer is no, but that does not mean that there shouldn’t be concerned. Andrew McCutchen is a former MVP that could still be recovering from his torn ACL from two years ago.

McCutchen is in the final year of his 3 years $50 million deal that he signed in the offseason leading into the 2019 season. He is an aging player that can still play but his bat has to come alive more than his .164 batting average. Minus his dropped fly ball yesterday, he still defends at an above-average level.

The one main concern that I have about him is his lead-off skills.
