The Philadephia Phillies won five straight NL East titles, including a World Series Championship back in 2008. Since then, though, the team has been in a constant rebuild state. They may not have many fantasy relevant, but there are a couple of diamond in the rough. To help rank the talent, here are the top five fantasy players on the Philadelphia Phillies.

Brown impressively finished with 27 HRs and 83 RBIs in 2013, while posting a respectable .272 batting average. Unfortunately, his 2014 season was a disaster. He hit only 10 HRs through 144 games with only 63 RBIs and an embarrassing .235 batting average. He has no competition in left field, and the team will give him every opportunity to play on a daily basis, but don't expect him to be a reliable starter in 2015.

ADP: 260.0

Revere hit over .300 (.306) for the second straight season in Philly. He also stole a career-high 49 bases, while only being caught eight times. He will never be a home run threat, as he has only hit two homers in his 1,905 career at-bats, but he will always be dangerous on the bases. View him as a respectable bench outfielder.

ADP: 169.7

After failing to play in 135 games in four straight seasons, Utley shockingly played in 155 games in 2014. His .270 batting average and 11 home runs left something to be desired, but it was at least promising to see the veteran play the entire season. Chaser will be be worth grabbing as a low-end starter in deeper leagues.

ADP: 151.5

Despite Philadelphia's lack of wins in recent seasons, Papelbon has finished with over 30 saves in eight of the last nine seasons, capped off by a 39-save effort in 2014. He will continue to be a respectable RP2 in all formats.

ADP: 131.0

Despite starting the year on the DL, Hamels still manned to throw 200 innings for the fifth consecutive season. He also struck out 198 batters and posted a career-low 2.46 ERA. He will be a top-15 arm in all formats, but he could jump into the top-10 if the Phillies ever actually trade him away.

ADP: 50.3
