    SYSTEM OVERVIEW

    Strengths: The Phillies have one of the deepest farm systems in baseball thanks to a strong international program, trades and high draft picks. Even with Rhys Hoskins and Nick Williams graduating, the club has more upper-level bats ready to help with J.P. Crawford and Scott Kingery. The Latin American pitching pipeline continues to be a strength, led by Sixto Sanchez, with arms like Seranthony Dominguez, Ranger Suarez and Francisco Morales continuing to pop up.

    Weaknesses:  The Phillies don't have a glaring weakness on the farm because the system is well balanced. While they have starting pitching prospects in the system, nobody will likely help them in 2018 beyond back-end starters like Drew Anderson or Tom Eshelman.

    Kapler it is.

    Klentak making his mark on this franchise 
    yes but is that a good thing?  how can you hire someone who has never managed and only coached for 1 year at the very lowest level of baseball?  personally i think it's a dumb hire.   how do you hire someone with no on field experience for the top managerial job in your organization?  i hope i'm wrong and will freely admit down the line if i am but i don't find it likely.
    Well that's more experience than Matheny had when the Cardinals hired him. Worked out okay for them so far. We shall see.

    Yeah, he was big on the muscle mags as a player.  My buddy was a huge Tigers fan when he came up with them and he was always laughing at the pictures.  Hey, if I worked out like a beast and looked like that I would probably walk around w/o my shirt off as well.  (The T.O. comparison fits only from the physique and showing it off piece...he seems to be a well adjusted human being, unlike our friend T.O.)

    Do not know if I had the tuducken there, but Jake's is ay okay in my book.  Used to have this insanely spicy cheesesteak that was good.  Lots of good sandwiches there.

    The Wasabi cheesesteak. I think they got rid of it. Fucking delicious. I usually go with their 50/50 - half bacon, half pork with this awesome Sriracha spread and shredded sharp Provolone.

    The Turducken is only in the month of November/for Thanksgiving. So good.

    Dude, before the Wasabi one they had a ghost pepper one that you had to sign a waiver (for show), but it was bananas hot but so good.  The wasabi one was good too.

    Yes!  The 50/50.  It is sooo god damn good.  Went there maybe once a quarter when I was working in that ood.

    Surprisingly, yes - probably would've drove me over the edge otherwise...
