For a team that had one of the major league’s best starting rotations last season, the Philadelphia Phillies still decided to enter camp with a surplus of starting pitching.
Some of the starting pitchers originally in the major league camp, such as Joel Pineiro and Dave Bush, have either been released or sent to the minor league camp, while others, such as Kyle Kendrick, are grabbing the attention of scouts.
The Phillies entered spring training with their starting rotation already in place, but early performances may give the team flexibility when it comes to trading for lineup upgrades or salary relief.
With injuries already mounting up, the Phillies may have to rely on their rotation even more this season.
