Seems like they were backed into a corner and forced to hope for the best with these older hitters, simply because they are unable to develop any prospects to provide anything on the hitting side.It's enjoyable watching the Phillies get this old overnight.
It's like they didn't learn their lessons from the early 2010s when Utley, Howard, Ruiz, Werth and Rollins got older.
For real. The last hitting prospect to come through their system that's been a consistent star is JP Crawford, who broke out on another team.Seems like they were backed into a corner and forced to hope for the best with these older hitters, simply because they are unable to develop any prospects to provide anything on the hitting side.

They hit the lottery with Wheeler, who transitioned from solid mid rotation pitcher, into a top 5 pitcher baseball after turning 30.
And the Marlins have probably developed the second most and they are just developing them for other teams.Braves have been fortunate that they’ve been the only team in the division that have been able to consistently develop stars over the past 35 years.
Braves have jumped up to 86% chance to make the playoffs after their strong start. 2nd biggest odds behind the Dodgers

It is the 15 year anniversary of 2011.
We also had a first year manager and a comfortable lead in the standings.
