The 106 players who have contributed to the Phillies FIVE straight playoff berths, ranked by WAR

Well – it wasn’t quite as dramatic as Brett Myers, on the final day of the season, striking out Wily Mo Pena on a hook and then being promptly mauled by Pat Burrell in 2007  - but it’s still just as wonderful. This time, fittingly, a complete-game shutout by Roy Halladay got the job done, and the Phillies have clinched a playoff spot for the 5th straight season, the only team in baseball on such a streak. Halladay threw a big punch in the Cy Young race, lowering his ERA to a now-NL-best 2.34. Though the new additions of Halladay, Lee, Pence and even Oswalt have taken this team to a new level, it’s the core group that has been here throughout the 5 years. Let’s take a look at ALL the players that contributed to this feat. WAR isn’t perfect, but it’s a good way to see who has most contributed to this team’s 466-328 record in the last 5 seasons… From Utley to Bruntlett – thanks to all you guys!
