The Philadelphia Phillies are coming off a year of certainty. They locked first place of the NL East for the second straight year and look to repeat, once further.
The Houston Astros or Arizona Diamondbacks or Los Angeles Dodgers were playoff losses, but the Philadelphia Phillies fans can take a sigh of relief for what is about to happen, starting with Justin Crawford.
Crawford will start the season most likely at right field and be the determing factor of the MLB offseason. There has been all kinds of rumors swirling around Alec Bohm and several other of the Phillies players and it is hard to buy.
The best bet is the Phillies brought most of their talent from last year, and not blow it up. Beside, this is not a year author of the New York Times, Matt Gelb, becomes decisive of all the Phillies offseason plans blowing up in the face of Phillies fans.
If Philadelphia stays on the track their on, they will reach a point of consistency again with Bryce Harper leading the team to the playoffs without Nick Castellanos in the lineup.
Phillies Rob Thomson has come close in winning NL Manager of the Year and who is not to say he cannot lead the team himself.
