Phillies Week in Review: Thanks for the Memories
Surging Bats
Roman Quinn was having a nice final week of the season, hitting .750 with a double and a stolen base, until being sidelined by an oblique injury. The injury only furthered questions about Quinn’s ability to remain healthy. Here’s hoping Quinn can stay healthy next year and help to provide the Phils with a spark atop the lineup in 2017.

Cesar Hernandez finished the season strong with seven hits and a .333 batting average last week. Hernandez had an outstanding offensive season. He hit .294 with six homers, 11 triples, and 14 doubles on the year. The one knock on Hernandez this year was his poor base running skills. He had 17 stolen bases to 13 caught stealing.
After a slow start, third baseman Maikel Franco ended the season strong. Franco hit .333 in the final week of the season. He finished the season with a .255 batting average, 25 homers, and 88 runs batted in.
Utility man Andres Blanco also finished the season strong. Blanco hit .300 with a double this week. Overall, he finished the year with a .253 average, four homers and 15 doubles.

Honorable mention goes to Ryan Howard. The Big Piece finished out his Phillies career with a nice week. Howard hit .278 with two homers and seven RBI. While his season average was just .196, Howard did manage to club 25 homers on the year.
