Spring training is all but history with less than a week remaining, but nary a fan will mourn its passing as Opening Day and a brand new season of Major League Baseball is right around the bend.

“Redemption” is a word that I would use to describe the atmosphere surrounding this club heading into the regular season. With a roster full of veteran players, it’s World Series or bust once again for the squad from Philadelphia, and the fans wouldn’t have it any other way.
But before we get too far ahead of ourselves, it’s time once again to take stock of the Phillies as spring training rounds to a close. Who is in good shape with Opening Day on the horizon and who has drawn concern? Are there any injuries?
Here is the list of Phillies surprises, busts and injuries with less than a week of spring training to go.
