Why Adam Haseley must be the Phillies’ starting CF next season

The debate has been going on for about 2 weeks now. Should the Phillies try and re-sign Corey Dickerson? Several issues come up in this discussion.

Firstly, the Phillies already have several outfielders under control. Andrew McCutchen, Jay Bruce, Bryce Harper, Adam Haseley, and partly Scott Kingery are all under control in 2020. There would be little room for Dickerson. Secondly, Corey Dickerson has injury history. This season alone Dickerson has missed games due to shoulder, groin, hand, and foot injuries. Currently, he’s dealing with a bruised navicular bone in his left foot.

The biggest issue is that rookie Adam Haseley has shown too much potential in 2019 to waste in 2020.
