After compiling the numbers for the Phillies monthly review post for May, it amazed me how poorly the ranked the Phillies are in the National League in offense. Those rankings have dipped further in the last couple weeks to the following:
Runs: 7th
Slugging and OPS: 9th
Home Runs: T-11th
"How could that be?" I thought to myself at the time. The Phillies weren't bashing it like many thought they would with the cast Matt Klentak assembled, but it seemed like most of the hitters were at least playing OK.
If that is true, it is a frightening concept.
