The last time we met, I gave you the first of five reasons that I believe the Phillies can indeed see a vast improvement over their disaster 2015 season. In that first installment of this series, I spoke about the rotation, noting that it has been filled out with actual Major League caliber arms, rather than the scrap pile replacements the club was throwing out there for many games last season.
Today, I want to take a look at the second reason that I believe the 2016 Phillies will have more success: manager Pete Mackanin.
