Adam Morgan was a revelation in 2017. The former top starting pitcher prospect, whose career was almost completely derailed by multiple injuries, emerged as an unlikely success of the post-Baby Ace Era in a committed relief role, throwing harder than ever and looking like a legitimate lockdown relief option.
As great as it is to see Morgan emerge and carve out a role for himself, the Phillies still look to be a little thin from the left side entering the 2018 season. This goes beyond the obvious gap in the starting rotation, where the club once again has no southpaw set to slot into the rotation just yet.
