The 2017 Phillies season saw several players step forward, but others took a step back. They need to bounce back in 2018 to remain relevant.

Very little has remained consistent the last few years for the Phillies. Countless players have come through the clubhouse since everything got torn down and the major pieces of the team were traded away.

Very few players have remained consistently good, struggling for significant stretches of time. Some have even had poor seasons altogether after showing a lot of potential prior. Several are in need of a bounceback this year after struggling for much of 2017; these are just five.
