Next October will be fun! Are you getting Phillies Fever yet ? by Jules Pilla Dec 14th If you don’t have it yet, you haven’t been paying much attention to the Phillies’ recent off- season acquisitions. More than likely you are probably focused on the Eagles run for the SuperBowl. But you can count on InsideTheEagles.com to keep you up to date and informed. The Phillies are fast becoming the favorite to win the NL East. What? You heard me right. The FAVORITE. How is that possible? Because they upgraded their pitching that much. Let’s start with the bullpen first. Last year, the team carried Jose Mesa , Turk Wendell, Mike Williams, Terry Adams and Carlos Silva, Dan Plesac and Rheal Cormier. So what has happened? Well, Silva was traded. Plesac retired at 41. Are the rest of the heap was given their traveling papers. And in return the Philles have brought in left hander closer Billy Wagner for Brandon Duckworth. Acquired set up man Tim Worrell and just got Roberto Hernandez for middle relief.
The starting rotation looks like this…Righthanded Kevin Millwood, (he’ll be back), Lefty Randy Wolf, Righty Vicente Padilla, Lefty Eric Milton and Righty Brett Myers. That is one strong rotation my friend.
Go Phillies!
