Interesting idea from Grant Bisbee of SB Nation: What kind of lineup could the Philadelphia Phillies have put together via the free-agent market?
The Phillies, of course, are not trying to contend. As Grant points out, though, the Phillies are a big-market team and their only player set to make more than $1 million in 2017 is Matt Harrison. The Phillies drafted seventh in 2014 and selected pitcher Aaron Nola, who debuted in 2015. Last year, they drafted 10th and selected high school outfielder Cornelius Randolph, who had a promising debut in rookie ball.
