Nick Maton is Making Good Impressions in His First Big League Stretch

Following injuries to both of their starting middle infielders, the Phillies recalled prospect Nick Maton to make his major-league debut on Tuesday. Didi Gregorius missed the entirety of the Giants’ series due to inflammation in his throwing elbow. Jean Segura, meanwhile, has a strained right quadricep and has gone to the 10-day Injured List. To […]

Instant analysis: Phillies call up top draft pick Mickey Moniak

It hasn’t been a secret. The Phillies’ center field duo of Roman Quinn and Adam Haseley has not been working. Quinn has just 1 hit in 17 at bats and Haseley has hit just .190. Their performance has forced the Phillies’ hand into calling up their first number 1 overall pick since Pat Burrell, Mickey […]

It’s Time for the Phillies to Recall Center Fielder Mickey Moniak

During Spring Training, Mickey Moniak was outperforming every Phillies’ center field candidate by a longshot. But the farther the Phillies got into Spring Training, the fewer at-bats Moniak got per game. It quickly became apparent that Moniak never got a fair look and eventually got sent down. The Current CF Setup Just Isn’t Working It […]

Phillies’ Updates: What Will Their Roster Look Like on Opening Day?

Following the release of Ivan Nova and Hector Rondon, the Phillies have their work cut out for them. Forming the rest of their 40-man roster will be a challenge in the coming days.

Should the Philadelphia Phillies Reunite With Maikel Franco?

Let me start by answering the question first on behalf of the Phillies: No. However, this is an intriguing thought- and could be a possibility.

Why Roman Quinn Will Win the Phillies’ Starting Centerfield Job

Roman Quinn. Fast outfielder. Defensive liability. Mediocre batter. Starting centerfielder? Yup, you heard that right. In just under three weeks, the Phillies will take the field against the Atlanta Braves in front of 8,800 fans, and the season will begin anew. On that day, it will be Roman Quinn starting in centerfield for the Phillies. […]

Did Mickey Moniak Solidify a Consistent Role in the Phillies’ Outfield?

Mickey Moniak has been on a slower path than most. After being drafted first overall in the 2016 MLB draft, Moniak has been held to high expectations. The Phillies took a bit of a chance taking him directly out of high school. However, this partially explains the delay in his development. After a few years […]

Adam Haseley Leads Off Battle for Center Field in a Big Way

It didn’t take long into competition for Adam Haseley to begin to make his case for the starting center fielder job. Only two pitches into the Phillies’ opener on Sunday in Lakeland, he smacked an opposite field home run. Now, it is Spring Training and the results do not matter as much as the process. […]

Which Phillies Centerfielder Will Win the Starting Role?

The day is finally upon us. Pitchers and catchers are reporting to Spectrum Field in Clearwater as Spring Training 2021 officially begins. While we here in Pennsylvania prepare for yet another snow storm, the Phillies are preparing for their return to Citizens Bank Park. Perhaps the most important position to watch during Spring Training this […]
