4. Jayson Werth, 2010 Phillies

Jayson Werth came over to the Phillies in 2007 and became a key component of the Phillies 2008 World Series Championship team.

In 2008, he hit .273 with 24 home runs and 67 RBI. The following season, he bolted to career-highs in home runs (36) and RBI (99) for the pennant-winning club.

But Werth’s best overall season with the Phillies was in 2010, when he led the league in doubles with 46, scored 106 runs, hit 27 home runs, knocked in 85, and finished with a .296 batting average and .921 OPS.  Werth was out of Philadelphia following the season and played seven more years in the Major Leagues with the Washington Nationals.

3. Pat Burrell, 2002 Phillies

After finishing fourth in NL Rookie of the Year voting in 2000, Burrell improved to 27 home runs and 85 RBI in 2001. He came into his own in 2002 and put together his finest overall season in the Major Leagues. Burrell hit .282 with 39 doubles, 36 home runs, 116 RBI, 96 runs scored, and an OPS of .921.  Although Burrell never made an All-Star team, he went on to hit 30 or more home runs four times with the Phillies and retired with the fourth-most home runs in franchise history behind Mike Schmidt, Ryan Howard, and Del Ennis.
