Team History:
Just when the 2006 seemed irrelevant after the July trades of players Bobby Abreu, Cory Lidle, David Bell and Rheal Cormier, the Phillies who remained caught fire and made a run at the Wild Card. They got within a half-game of the lead by the season's final week, before being eliminated after Game 161. Individually, Jimmy Rollins and Chase Utley blossomed into team leaders, but they were trumped by Ryan Howard, whose 58 homers and 149 RBIs earned him the National League Most Valuable Player Award.
Season Preview:
Nobody watches Phillies pitchers closer than their closer, and Tom Gordon digs the view from the bullpen. "It's so much fun being a part of this team now," he says. After a busy offseason in which GM Pat Gillick picked up Freddy Garcia and Adam Eaton, the Phils have six quality starters. "Garcia was the best guy on the White Sox staff last year," one scout says, and Eaton has No. 1-caliber stuff. García had arm trouble late in camp; whether or not he's healthy, the key to success may be Jon Lieber, a savvy, strike-throwing righty (100 K's, 24 BBs) who's in the last year of his contract. The Phils could stand to improve the outfield and the pen. As they embark on what may be their first-ever real pennant race with the Mets, a surplus of starters would look especially good at the deadline. Pat Burrell "has lost his mojo," says a teammate. Burrell's been blamed for everything in Philly after sidestepping a trade to Baltimore last year. True, he hit .222 with RISP, but he had 29 HRs, 95 RBI and 98 BBs in 462 ABs. Those numbers might look fine on a winner. "Some guys are fast and some guys fly. He's a dude who just flies." -- Jimmy Rollins on OF prospect Michael Bourn, who has averaged 41 stolen bases per year in the minors.
