Spring Game #1 GameThread: Phillies @ Jays

These 1:00 Eastern starts really mess with my day. Being in Alberta, it is an 11:00 start. I like to get a workout in, but I’m not an early riser, so getting a GameThread together and working out before 11:00 is not going to happen. On the other hand, watching an 11:00 start-time game, doing […]

Is Bryce Harper still Elite?

It’s been a few months since Phillies GM Dave Dombrowski made public comments questioning Bryce Harper’s status as an elite player. Harper certainly didn’t have an elite season in 2025, but is that enough to demote a player entirely? Harper has admitted to still being baffled by the comments, but the good news is that […]

Injuries create an immediate opportunity for Blaze Alexander

The Orioles made some big time moves over the offseason. Pete Alonso should provide legitimate protection to Baltimore’s other top hitters. Ryan Helsley knows what it takes to close out games in big spots, and the organization continues to hype up trade acquisition Shane Baz. These guys are the type of difference makers that can […]

While it’s not completely a sure thing, outside of some unforeseen circumstance that fells one or both of them, they’re going north with the Phillies. That makes this question applicable to many of the other prospects […]

With spring training opening up this week, many people are going to start remembering that baseball is about to begin.

The Good Phight’s Community Prospect list: #15 – Cody Bowker

Listen, I really liked the idea that the Phillies recognized that developing their own starters and relievers is the proper way to build and develop. Spending at the top of free agency each year is fine, but there has to be some counterbalance to what is being done. So spending higher draft picks on pitchers […]

Which player do you expect to take a leap forward this season?

Spring training is the time for optimism for all people involved.

The Good Phight’s Community Prospect list: #14 – Jean Cabrera

We are officially in the “eh, sure” stage of ranking the Phillies’ prospects. They have a shallow farm system once you get past the top five in the group, so if you lump enough of them together, maybe one or two will stick. It’s a bit of a sad state of affairs. Jean Cabrera – […]
