Written by Shotgun Spratling Saturday, 02 January 2010 08:00 The Philadelphia Phillies went through three stages in the 10 seasons of this decade. First, there was the terrible 2000 season that got Terry Francona fired after the team finished with the worst record in baseball. Then there were seven years of consistency as the Phillies won between 85 and 89 games in six of those seven seasons making the playoffs in only 2007 where they were quickly jettisoned by the Rockies. Finally, there were the two World Series seasons when the Phils won the pennant and made the Fall Classic winning their first championship since 1980 when they defeated Tampa Bay in 2008 and falling to the Yankees in 2009. C - Mike Lieberthal For 13 seasons, Mike Liberthal wore the tools of ignorance on top of his Phillies uniform. Seven of those seasons came during this decade, including his 2000 All-Star season when he batted .278 and knocked 30 doubles and 15 homers while driving in 71 runs in only 108 games. He hit double-digit home runs in all five seasons that he played more than 100 games this decade and drove in 359 runs. 1B - Ryan Howard The slugging first baseman made fellow lefty bomber Jim Thome expendable when he burst onto the scene in 2005. He didn't take over the first baseman duties until the beginning of July but still managed to hit 22 home runs and drive in 63 runs in just over 300 at bats. Numbers good enough to earn him the Rookie of the Year award. He followed that up with a 58-homer, 149-RBI season that won him the MVP after he batted .313 with a 1.084 OPS. In his four full seasons, Howard has averaged 102 runs, 50 homers, 143 RBI, and a .967 OPS while earning two All-Star selections and a Silver Slugger. 2B - Chase Utley Since taking over duties full time in 2005, Chase Utley has become the game's best second baseman. Averaging 111 runs, 39 doubles, 5 triples, 29 homers, 101 RBI, and 15 stolen bases per year and being one of the most durable players in Philadelphis, the slick-haired wonder has batted .301 with a .922 OPS during the five year period -- some of the best numbers ever put up by a second baseman over that time frame. Each of the last four seasons Utley has been an All-Star, a Silver Slugger, and received MVP votes. He also tried to single-handedly keep the Phillies in the series against the Yankees during the 2009 World Series hitting five home runs in the six game series. SS - Jimmy Rollins After replacing Desi Relaford at shortstop in 2001, Jimmy Rollins has been the face of the Phillies' francise. The three-time All-Star has played an average of 155 games each of the past nine seasons becoming the first NL shortstop in 34 years to play in all 162 games when he didn't miss any games in 2007. He was one of the most dangerous leadoff men in the game as a speed/power dual threat. Rollins has averaged over 100 runs and double-digit doubles, triples, and home runs to go along with 68 RBI and 36 stolen bases per year. After leading the National League with 12 triples and 46 stolen bases in '01, Rollins finished third behind Albert Pujols and Roy Oswalt in one of the strongest Rookie of the Year classes ever. A consistent producer, Rollins had his best season in '07 when he scored a league-high 139 runs and became the first player in MLB history to have 30 homers, 30 doubles, 30 steals, and 20 triples in one season. Rollins was rewarded with MVP honors and also won his first of three consecutive Gold Glove awards to end the decade. 3B - Scott Rolen From 2000 to 2002, Scott Rolen won three consecutive Gold Gloves, hit 100 doubles, 82 home runs, and drove in 306 runs. Though he spent the stretch run of the '02 season with St. Louis after being traded, Rolen is best remembered for his slick fielding on the Veterans Stadium astroturf before the Phillies moved to a better playing surface. The first three years of the decade were three of seven consecutive seasons with 25+ home runs. LF - Pat Burrell Raul Ibanez had an All-Star 2009 season after signing as a free agent, but his one season is not enough to trump the man he replaced. Pat Burrell was a former No. 1 overall pick out of the University of Miami, but he never fully lived up the billing of being a No. 1 pick because of a .257 batting average over nine seasons with Philadelphia. However, "Pat the Bat" lived up to his moniker by swatting 253 doubles and 251 home runs with the Phillies while driving in an average of 92 runs per year. CF - Shane Victorino Twice selected in the Rule 5 Draft, Shane Victorino found a permanent home in the City of Brotherly Love where he been embraced by the Phillies' fans. Since becoming an everyday player in 2006, the "Flyin' Hawaiian" has either equaled or increased his runs, hits, doubles, RBI, on base percentage, and OPS every season. Though he didn't bloody his face running into a fence like his predecessor, Aaron Rowand, Victorino has continued the Gold Glove defense winning the metallic leather the last two seasons. He was also named to his first All-Star team in '09. RF - Bobby Abreu Coming into his own in 1998 in his first season in Philadelphia, Bobby Abreu roamed the outfield in the Vet and Citizens Bank Park with ease. One of the more underrated stars, the Venezuelan consistently put up great numbers with the Philllies. From 2000 to 2006, Abreu averaged 106 runs, 43 doubles, 24 home runs, 98 RBI, 31 stolen bases, and an impressive 112 base on balls. With a steady eye, the patient Abreu batted .300 and was constantly in the Top 10 in OBP accumulating a .413 OBP over his five and a half years with Philly this decade. Throw in his power, which he displayed in the '05 Home Run Derby when he hit 24 out in the first round, and gap-to-gap capabilities and Abreu put together a quality .922 OPS. SP (LH) - Cole Hamels With a slight edge over Randy Wolf, Cole Hamels earns the southpaw starter's spot. In his first four years in the big leagues, Hamels has been a stud winning 48 games and posting a 3.67 ERA and a 1.18 WHIP. After earning All-Star honors in 2007, Hamels had a phenomenal 2008 winning 14 games with a 3.09 ERA and league-best 1.08 WHIP. He was even better in the '08 playoffs dominating hitters with his lanky delivery to the tune of a 3-1 record with a 1.88 ERA and a 0.98 WHIP, including eight scoreless innings in the NLCS and two wins in the World Series. SP (RH) - Vicente Padilla Brett Myers led the franchise with 73 wins this decade, but his 4.40 ERA keeps him from earning a spot on the All-Decade team. Instead, Vicente Padilla earns the selection. After the Phils made him a starter, Padilla won 44 games and accumulated a 3.91 ERA in 111 starts. His best season came in 2002 when he went 14-11 with a 3.28 ERA and 1.22 WHIP earning him his only trip to the All-Star Game. RP - Ryan Madson In one of the toughest decisions thus far in our All-Decade teams, Ryan Madson six seasons of stellar relief barely beat out southpaws Rheal Cormier's six years and J.C. Romero's dynamite past three seasons. With his absolutely disgusting changeup, one of the best in the game, Madson has compiled a 29-21 record with a 3.20 ERA and 1.23 WHIP in 425.1 innings of relief with Philadelphia. After an attempt to have him become a starter in '06, Madson has been one of the game's top set-up men recording a 3.12 ERA over the last three seasons. He also has posted a 2.74 ERA and a 2-0 record in the Phillies' six postseason series the last two seasons. CL - Billy Wagner Philadelphia has been fortunate to have filthy closers throughout the decade from Jose Mesa to Billy Wagner to Tom Gordon to the last two seasons with Brad Lidge, and even though Wagner was not the most loved Phil in history, he did put up the most dominant numbers. In his two seasons with Philadelphia, Wagner put together a 1.86 ERA with a ridiculous 0.81 WHIP in 126 innings. He also struck out 146 batters and walked only 26 for a 5.62 K/BB ratio. Wagner's adjusted ERA in a Phillies uniform was an astonishing 239, and he converted 89% of his save opportunities finishing a league-high 70 games in '05 when he was an All-Star. http://is.gd/5JWBn -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ※ 編輯: mohicans 來自: 122.116.47.94 (01/03 03:09)
