"I guess the writing is on the wall," Oberholtzer said Sunday morning at Bright House Field. "Literally."
Oberholtzer, 26, is out of options, so he had a guaranteed spot on the Opening Day roster. The Phillies acquired him in the Ken Giles trade in December, so they obviously had no plans of losing him. But the storyline entering Spring Training is that he had a chance to be the Phillies' No. 5 starter because he has a 3.84 ERA in 42 big league starts.
The Phillies need quality starters.
