2022 report card: Mickey Moniak
You know the story by now. A team with the top pick in the draft, the chance to take a player that would ultimately be the face of the franchise should all things work out. A draft, at the time at least, devoid of a blue chip prospect as in years past. Both of these things conspired to not only fail the Phillies in their bid for a rebuild. They arguably set that rebuild back several years.
There is no point in rehashing what happened in that draft, but 2022 was the year the Phillies finally moved on from Mickey Moniak and the failure of that draft.
It was time for both player and team.
