There comes a time in the life of every MLB team when rebuilding becomes necessary. It’s a sad fact of baseball life, but it’s something that generally needs to be done after years of paying inflated salaries in the pursuit of a title. The Philadelphia Phillies have systematically broken down their team over the past few seasons, and probably hit bottom with their performance last year. This is not a team that is in any way expected to contend this season, but they may do a whole lot better than last year of some of their young prospects can start to pay dividends. They are off to a fairly respectable start to the season, but will be well aware that success is measured over the long haul. They will have a division series against the Washington Nationals this weekend, with the first of 3 games set to go on Friday night.
