After Scott Rolen went on to the Phillies Wall of Fame, the Phillies are almost at the point where they are out of names from the 80s, 90s, and early 2000s. Meaning we should be seeing the 2008 Phillies join that club soon.
There are still some names from those eras that will go on. And there are still guys from the Pre-World War 2 era who may be deserving, even if no modern fans will know who they are. But it is starting to be about that time that they will have to move on to putting guys in from the 2008 World Series team.

It Is Time For The 2008 Phillies To Get Onto The Wall
There are already 4 names from that time on the Wall. Pat Burrell, Pat Gillick, Charlie Manuel, and Harry Kalas. But otherwise, they have been slow thus far to go into that well. They may not have a choice for very much longer though, unless they really stretch which players are Wall worthy.
And if the number of people who have already made it onto the Wall of Fame from the 1980 team is any indication, there could be a lot of names from the 2008 team that will wind up on there. Once they go to that well, there may be enough players to last for the next decade of Wall of Fame ceremonies. Which is good, because there are not many names that came after that team that are deserving, so they are going to need to kill time before they can get to some of the modern guys.
But which of those 2008 Phillies will end up on the wall? Some names are obvious. Others you don’t think of as Phillies legends, but have a very good chance to eventually make it based on the names already up on the wall.
