Cedric Hunter demoted, David Lough called up, Phillies outfield still screwed

Calling up David Lough isn't going to fix a problem that is largely unfix-able.

Cedric Hunter, the feel-good story of the spring, has been sent down to Triple-A Lehigh Valley and, in his place, outfielder David Lough has been called up. And the Phillies are wasting no time, putting Lough in tonight's lineup against Noah Syndergaard, batting sixth.

Imagine the pure terror poor "Thor" is feeling right now.

Lough will try to help a Phillies outfield that is not conducive to winning actual baseball games here in 2016.
