A lack of young talent is killing the Phillies

The numbers are worrisome.

Since the start of the second half last year, Rhys Hoskins has been worth -0.4 fWAR with a slash line of .182/.332/.343. He has nine home runs in his last 84 games (370 plate appearances), has not hit a dinger in his last 111 PAs and, despite starting every game in the No. 2 hole in the lineup, has one RBI.

Since the start of the second half last year, Scott Kingery has been worth 0.2 fWAR with a slash line of .213/.275/.375. He has eight home runs in his last 79 games (325 plate appearances).
