Tal Venada suggests that Howie Kendrick would be a good stop-gap in the outfield if he bounces back a bit from his 2016 campaign. The projections at FanGraphs make that appear likely. The Phillies need to improve two outfield positions, however, and maybe Roman Quinn is the answer to the other slot. His development was slowed by injuries, but hit .295/.359/.438 in 579 AA plate appearances. He will play 2017 as a 24-year-old, which means the Phillies will control his prime cost effectively. He did a great job getting on base in his brief time in the majors. An outfield with Kendrick and Quinn on either side of Odubel Herrera should be much more productive, and help move the team out of the bottom slot in runs scored.
