Protect them from what? Do any Phils actually hit the ball hard enough to hurt someone? Maybe, the netting is to protect the players from getting the crap beat out of them by the fans.

A woman was injured by a foul ball at a Philadelphia Phillies game Thursday night hours after the Major League Baseball commissioner was at the stadium and spoke about increasing fan safety.
Commissioner Rob Manfred talked at Citizens Bank Park before the New York Mets played the Phillies. He said there was a chance that extra safety nets could be put up around the majors as early as next season.
In the second inning, a fan sitting five rows off the field was hit in the forehead by a foul off the bat of Freddy Galvis of the Phillies. The team said she was evaluated and didn't need to go to a hospital.

The female fan in Philadelphia was sitting just to the right of where the netting ends. Fans around her immediately motioned for medical personnel, and Phillies players threw a towel from the dugout to help stop any bleeding.
The woman eventually was helped to the concourse.

Cherington would be interesting. Maybe he can be a good GM with a little more supervision from the President's office or something. A sanity check on giving Hanley Ramirez and Pablo Sandoval types big long term contracts.
