In Search For An Outfielder – Philadelphia Phillies

In Search For An Outfielder – Philadelphia Phillies

So far, we have identified the following outfielders as possible targets for the Mets:

                Atlanta – Reed Johnson

                Arizona – A.J. Pollock

Baltimore – Nolan Reimold

                Boston – Jerry Sands

                Chicago Cubs – Brett Jackson

Chicago White Sox - Dayan Viciedo

Cincinnati – Chris Heisey

                Cleveland – Thomas Neal -

                Colorado – Dexter Fowler

Detroit – none

Kansas City – none

Los Angeles Angels – Mark Trumbo

Los Angeles Dodgers – Alex Castellanos

Miami Marlins – Gorkys Hernandez

Milwaukee Brewers – Khris Davis

Minnesota Twins – None

Oakland Athletics – Grant Green

New York Yankees - None

Pittsburgh – Jose Tabata

We now move on to the Philadelphia Phillies, who currently have seven (7) outfielders on their 40-man

                Domonic Brown – lefty –  ARB-1 in 2015 – MLB:  187-AB, .235

                Zach Collier – lefty –  pre-ARB -

                Tyson Gillies – lefty –  pre-ARB -

                Ender Inciarte – lefty –

                John Mayberry – righty – ARB-1 in 2014 -  MLB – 441-AB, 14-HR, 46-RBI

                Laynce Nix – lefty – $1,35mil in 2013 – FA-2014 – MLB: 114-AB, .246

                Ben Revere – lefty -  ARB-1 in 2014 –

A fair amount of people that played in the Philadelphia outfield last season are now gone.  We can talk about this team all day but they still will only have one righty in the outfield. In addition, the system is pretty lean and Brown has basically been a dud.

Newly signed Revere and Mayberry will get most of the at-bats. One of the weakest Phillies outfield in years, maybe decades.

Mets target:  None
