Face Of The Team
Reggie Smith - OF
Lean, fast, and committed, Reggie Smith is only 23 and has the future hostage. On a fine looking team, no player seems to have it all put together like Smith who will play center field with the best of them. Defensively Smith can run them all down and he truly possesses five tool talent as he will bat in the middle of the order but have support from sluggers like Tony Armas. Reggie Smith could be a fixture in Philly for the next decade.
Final Analysis
The Phillies expect to be among the favorites for the pennant with a lineup headed by Tony Armas, Reggie Smith, and Ken Oberkfell. Even more important could be the Phillies defense that is among the best with scooter Phil Rizzuto up the middle Bill Sowders has alot to prove but will throw for a team that most scouts really like.
