We’re well into spring training, and some story lines with the Philadelphia Phillies have emerged.
Ben Francisco has been stellar and is ready to replace Jayson Werth in right. We may even see Francisco in Werth’s 5-hole slot by season’s end.
Domonic Brown broke his hand at the wrong time. He’s been in free fall in camp, and he needed as much spring training as possible. He needs to regain his confidence.
Chase Utley’s knee has raised some concerns.
Other than that, everything’s just dandy.
