Since we’re roughly a month into the 2016 season, let’s revisit our preseason rundown of top 100 players. This time, though, the criteria are different. When we did this coming into the season, the rankings were based upon reasonable expectations — using things like age and recent performance history — to make educated guesses at which players would provide the most value in 2016.

The Phillies, by all appearances, are in rebuilding mode. They’ve traded off a number of veterans in recent months and presently have the youngest pitching staff and fifth-youngest roster of position players in the National League.

PHILADLEPHIA – When the baseball gods go against a team, it’s easy to tell. In the seventh inning Saturday night, David Lough blooped a single into center field with the Phillies and Indians tied, 3-3.
