If the team really is lousy, they could stay that way awhile. Amaro's pretty much the last guy I'd want to lead a rebuild, and you know they wouldn't ditch him for at least two years.

"Nix and Mayberry have both played a lot of RF," manager Charlie Manuel said after the loss. "Domonic has played left and right. I kind of like him better in left because of how he moves and everything."

When the Phils were about to make their first-round pick in the 1995 MLB draft, they had two names atop their draft board: Roy Halladay and Reggie Taylor.
The Phils passed on Halladay, a Denver-area high school right-hander, in favor of Taylor, a multi-tooled outfielder. Halladay was the 17th player selected in the 1995 MLB draft, by the Toronto Blue Jays; the Phils drafted Taylor three picks earlier, with the 14th overall selection.
“I remember it very clearly,” said Marti Wolever, the Phillies longtime scouting director who was in the draft room when the team deliberated between Halladay and Taylor. “It was a split camp in our room. There were half that liked Roy Halladay and would take him there with that pick, and half that didn’t like his arm action and didn’t want to take him at that point. That’s where we were.”
...
“Reggie Taylor, probably in all my 18 years (involved in the draft), had as many tools as anyone we’ve taken in the first round. We all like Reggie’s tools and there was concern about arm action on Roy.”
