is solid with Rollins, Howard and Utley. We have a new 3rd baseman in
Wes Helms. There is no way Howard will have a season like last year they
will be pitching around him to much and Utley is a fabulous player who can do
it all. The outfield is ok with Burrel, Rowand and Vicctorino. The man thing
with the outfield is if Rowand can stay healthy and Burrel doesn't f-ing stick
up the joint. The middle relief is just awful for the Phils, hopefully they don't
blow to many games. This is the Fightin Phils, like usually they will dissapoint
their fans and will be bitching and moaning by late May. I got tickets for all
their interleague games at home and they are playing the Tigers.

Phils seem like a team that has some really good pieces but is very shaky in the bullpen. Old closers are always injury risks and if Flash goes down there is a giant hole. Myers and Hamels are very solid in the rotation. The Mets rotation is very shaky and with Sanchez out and Mota suspended their pen has some questions. The Braves pitching is also a little dicey and the Marlins are still too young. Forget the Nats. Phils have a shot if things come together.
