It seems not so long ago that the Philadelphia Phillies were defending their National League East title with the “Four Aces” serving as the keystone of the team.
But while Cole Hamels and Cliff Lee continue to be widely recognized as aces, Roy Oswalt is long gone and Roy Halladay may or may not still have the stuff to lead a rotation.
Given the Phillies’ ongoing concerns on offense—the Delmon Young signing was not indicative of great confidence in the power department—it is apparent that unless the team pitches and catches it well in 2013, drastic roster changes are likely.
As with so much Phillies news these days, the team’s forecast for pitchers and catchers is varied.
