Phillies 1st Pick a Nice Perk, But Not Essential to the Rebuild

The one thing that Phillies fans were able to salvage after a rough 2015 season was seeing the team receive the first pick in this year’s MLB Amateur Draft.

There has been much debate about which player the team should take, whether a pitcher such as Jason Groome, a bat such as that of Mickey Moniak, or somebody else. In a year without a Bryce Harper or David Price, no surefire 1:1 player, there is no definitive choice.

That’s why it is important to remember that there are 40 rounds.
