The Phillies really need to upgrade their bench

There is a thing that teams do when their roster needs a jolt of energy where they will call up some kind of young prospect who has laurels on his resume to provide a spark to a lagging team. Sometimes that team will use that promotion as a jumpstart to their season, much like Cincinnati has done this year, and sometimes that promotion will....not provide that spark.

The Phillies this weekend brought up one of their own in Johan Rojas who did provide that tiny spark with his webgem to start Saturday’s doubleheader, but his was not done with an eye to spark the team.
