Analysis:

The Phillies have not settled their outfield alignment yet, but it sounds like they could go with Altherr in right, Peter Bourjos in center and Odubel Herrera in left. Cody Asche and Tyler Goeddel would open the year as reserves. Altherr hit .241/.338/.489 with five home runs and six stolen bases in 137 at-bats for the Phillies last season.
