    4. Anderson pushes his way into the rotation

    5. Swanson's bat comes around and he becomes a 3+ win player

    6. Newcomb reigns in the control enough to be a 3-win pitcher

    7. JD finds the fountain of youth and becomes a 6+ win player again

    8. Mac/flowers out-WAR JTR

    9. Phillies implode and kapler is fired in-season

    10. Braves win WS

    5. Swanson has the ability to be a productive hitter. I could see him as a .750 OPS guy or a little better, which would get him to 3+ win status.

    3. Gohara has the most upside of any pitching prospect we have.

    9. This is almost a no-brainer, but the Phils have loaded up the roster to the point where a trained pig could get to .500, or at least will after they add one of Harper or Machado.

    8. This would be a good bet if framing was included in WAR.

    Has there EVER been a statement and question a certain someone should absolutely never have made and asked publicly more than...

    Kinda pathetic to see yourself as a message board knight in shining armor. How impotent does someone have to be in real life to resort to playing hero on a message board?
