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.
