Thanks to the owner imposed lockout on the offseason that caused spring training to get such a late start, this actual playing season has given anyone doing any kind of research less information than in previous years (pandemic years notwithstanding). By this point, we usually have around three weeks of games upon which we can make judgements of a roster, but by now, we only have two. To say that the sample size is still much too small for any kind of definitive statement about the game would be a massive understatement. Still, we can say with pretty fair accuracy that the Phillies’ defense is pretty much as advertised: not good.
What does the optimal defensive infield look like right now for the Phillies?
