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.
