The Philadelphia Phillies finished the season at 82-80 and missed the playoffs despite a payroll that topped $200 million.

The roster has a number of holes and National League MVP candidate Bryce Harper wants to see the club build from within.

"We need guys to come up from the minor leagues that can have success for us," Harper said. "That's huge as well. When guys aren’t having success from the minor leagues into the big leagues, that hurts us. So we just need to be all-around better as a team and as an organization with our hitting plan and everything else that comes with that."

Philadelphia fired hitting coach Joe Dillon, but changes need to come in drafting and player development.

"We can't just keep going out and buying and buying and buying," Harper said. "We need homegrown talent. When you look at teams that have homegrown talent, those are the teams that have success. I think as a whole, we need our minor leagues to be better. We need guys to come up from the minor leagues and have success and be successful. Not have to go up and down."
