2017 Phillies Value 50: 30-21

Throughout this week, we’ll unveil the list of the 50 most valuable people to the Phillies’ success in 2017. These are the most valuable people in the Phillies’ organization: The 2017 Phillies Value 50.

Methodology: The team at Phillies Nation each ranked who is most valuable to the Phillies’ success in 2017, from 1-50. We added up the rankings (anyone unranked immediately received a 51), then sorted the list.

Here is 50-41.

Here is 40-31.

Today, 30-21.

30. Jeremy Hellickson, right-handed pitcher

The most expensive player on the payroll will be expected to earn some trade value while continuing to help the young starters grow.

29. Cesar Hernandez, second baseman

A big year for Hernandez. Can he repeat his second half of 2016 over much of this season? If so, he may just be part of the team’s future.

28. Jerad Eickhoff, right-handed pitcher

Arguably the most consistent performer on the roster, but there’s still room to grow for the righty.

27. David Montgomery, owner

Still a face of the organization, Montgomery still has the ability to sell this team to fans across the region.

26. Mickey Moniak, outfielder

High expectations for the No. 1 pick, who with a solid 2017 performance could find himself two steps from the majors.

25. Nick Williams, outfielder

A crucial season for Williams. Is he the everyday outfielder the Phils thought they acquired from Texas? Some future decisions may depend on the answer.

24. Scott Freedman, baseball operations director

Hired as an “extern” to work with analytics, Freedman now works right alongside Matt Klentak, helping to build the Phillies partially through data-driven study.

23. Mike Ondo, professional scouting director

The seeds of a major future trade or free agent acquisition are sown with Ondo, who oversees the organization’s search for major league value and benefit.

22. Joe Rauch, minor league training coordinator

With all the development happening in the minor leagues, health and wellness is of utmost importance.

21. Tommy Joseph, first baseman

Kirsten Swanson has more on what Joseph means to the Phillies in 2017.

Tim Malcolm

Tim first found the Phillies as a little infant at Veteran’s Stadium, cheering on a Juan Samuel game-winning home run in his very first game. With the pinstripes in his blood, he witnessed Terry Mulholland’s 1990 no-hitter, “Steve Carlton Night” at the Vet, game three of the 1993 World Series, countless games during the charmed 2008 championship season and various road excursions. Since November 2007 Tim’s been writing about them daily at Phillies Nation, becoming one of the world’s most popular Phillies scribes. You can catch him on Twitter and Facebook, as well. When he’s not talking about the Phils he’s relaxing with a St. Bernardus ABT 12 or one of his many favored brews.
