FanGraphs is running a series of positional power rankings, where, to quote from the introduction, they are

...going position by position around the league, and comparing the relative merits of each team’s options at each spot on the field for 2012. This is only looking at the upcoming season and doesn’t account for potential long term value – we’re just concerned with what each team may get from a given spot on the field this year.

Below are the first several, along with where the Phillies are ranked...

First Base: #21 (300 PAs for Howard)

1) The Phillies' position players were 5th in the NL in fWAR in 2011, and are projected to remain 5th in 2012.

2) Phillies' position players are projected to improve by 2.6 fWAR, from 24.4 in 2011 to 27.0 in 2012 (the average NL team improves by 0.8 fWAR).
