The Philadelphia Phillies

Two notable additions were made by the Phillies this off season with AJ Burnett and Marlon Byrd. Roy Halladay did in fact retire this off season leaving the Phillies' rotation, but Hamels and Lee at the top make it a steady rotation.

The Phillies' lineup heavily depends on if the important players can remain healthy. That is Ryan Howard, Chase Utley, and Carlos Ruiz. Marlon Byrd will supply a much needed right handed bat in the lineup, but this is how the lineup may look in 2014.

1. L. Ben Revere         CF  92 OPS+
2. S. Jimmy Rollins     SS  85 OPS+
3. L. Chase Utley        2B 125 OPS+
4. L. Ryan Howard      1B 114 OPS+
5. R. Marlon Byrd       RF 138 OPS+
6. L. Dominick Brown LF 123 OPS+
7. R. Carlos Ruiz          C 90 OPS+
8. L. Cody Asche        3B  90 OPS+

The rotation as mentioned will be without Roy Halladay and now with AJ Burnett. The Phillies are in an in between phase in term of rebuilding their rotation. They have two absolute great pitchers at the top of their rotation.

1. L. Cliff Lee               133 ERA+
2. L. Cole Hamels          106 ERA+
3. R. AJ Burnett             107 ERA+
4. R. Kyle Kendrick         81 ERA+
5. R. Roberto Hernandez 78 ERA+

The bullpen for the Phillies may have a new look come the trade deadline as they are trying to free up money. Jonathon Papelbon or Mike Adams may be traded because they have the highest salaries of the bullpen arms. Other people in the bullpen include Brad Lincoln and Miguel Gonzalez.
