The Phillies have a problem.
Let’s re-phrase that.
The Phillies have a good problem right now. As compared to years past, when the team was scrounging about the trash bins of free agency towards the end of the offseason, this year they have signed starting pitching. In fact, they currently have seven viable starting pitchers for five rotation spots. Before we move forward, let’s make note of the term “viable” used here. As in each one is capable of going out and giving the team starter’s innings for the season. No one mentioned they’d all be good.
