Earlier this week I broke down how the Phillies bench could shape up by the end of spring training. A major piece of the puzzle Philadelphia’s bench will be missing is a left-handed bat with some power to play in clutch situations.
Andres Blanco provides the ability to switch-hit, but his defense and lack of power limit his availability in certain situations.
That lack of power presents a significant opportunity for two Phillies minor leaguers to make their dreams of playing in the majors come true.
Cam Perkins and Brock Stassi are both in their mid-20’s and have never made it past Triple-A in their professional careers.
