Phillies have a substantial + margin in runs scored minus runs allowed since June 26, suggesting that they've turned the corner.
They are now fielding a starting eight where the three oldest players are Rupp (28), Hernandez (27) and Galvis (27).
[Don't look now but Rupp is 12th among ML catchers with a .770 OPS, still want to replace him with Alfaro and his .646 OPS in AAA ball?]
With Hellickson gone, the oldest starting pitcher is Eickhoff (27).
This is a young team that may have turned the corner.
Klentak just got rid of three older players and received 4 young pitchers and a potential utility IF plus probably $1-2M in international allocations which suggest additional signings.
Now if he gets any value for Benoit and Nava, we're gonna have to make him walk across the Delaware.
