“Should the Phillies re-sign Corey Dickerson?” This is a loaded question. Although it seems like an incredibly simple decision when glancing at Dickerson’s stat line (slashing a ridiculous .293/.307/.579 since joining the Phillies), the debate becomes far more complex when you seriously delve into some of the details.
Dickerson has had a very productive second half in Philly, that much is not up for debate. He’s knocked in 34 runs and hit eight home runs despite being shuffled around in the lineup like a deck of cards. He’s hit for contact, played above-average defense in multiple outfield spots (0 errors), and has overall led to a spark that kept the team floating in the Wild Card race for a few weeks longer than they really should have.
