There’s a noticeable trend in Major League Baseball when discussing a team’s prospects for the season; almost everybody needs pitching. Even teams regarded as strong in that area aren’t satisfied (see White Sox GM Ken Williams). The Phillies have pitching questions and they seem to be relying on a number of cards to fall their way. A dangerous strategy, to be sure and one that fans buying Philadelphia Phillies Tickets may not appreciate if their heroes don’t win the East Division. The Citizens Bank Park faithful look toward GM Pat Gillick to orchestrate moves that promise good things this summer.

Manager Charlie Manuel knows the Atlanta Braves can be overtaken this year. A two-game deficit is not difficult to overcome as long as you’re the one improving. GM Gillick pulled off a major trade sending Jim Thome to the White Sox for Aaron Rowand. The former Palehose center fielder brings some impressive leather with him but an inconsistent bat and a penchant to look foolish when served a diet of sliders. Regardless, Rowand takes over for Kenny Lofton in center.

The rest of the line-up is formidable, featuring axsmen like Bobby Abreu, Pat Burrel, and Ryan Howard. The Phils are golden at the “Keystone” with Jimmy Rollins and Chase Utley holding down the fort splendidly. Rollins will be a media darling right out of the gate this season as he is currently enjoying a 36 game hitting streak, rolling over from the end of 2005.

Back to the pitching, Brett Myers, Corey Lidle and Jon Leiber are adequate to good but then the outlook becomes murky. Can Ryan Franklin and Ryan Madson propel the staff to the post season? Can Tom “Flash” Gordon replace ace close Billy Wagner? Veteran Arthur Rhodes was brought in to help solidify the shaky bullpen. The addition of Rhodes not only provides a veteran set up man but it also allows Ryan Madson to move from pen to rotation. Questionable pitching staffs seldom carry teams to division titles and this one will require Philadelphia Phillies season tickets holders to keep fingers and toes crossed. Sweet cream pennant dreams built on hope melt in the hot August sun. If the Phils are close, Gillick will pull the trigger to bring is reinforcements.

Phillies fans are demanding, as well they should be. Given the money, time and emotional investment they expend, Philadelphia Phillies Ticket buyers want Citizens Bank Park to host at least a playoff game. With the Mets spending mass quantities, it’s up to Pat Gillick to keep pace while figuring a way to overtake the front running Braves.
