Vote: Philadelphia Phillies Season Preview


Philadelphia Phillies
2004 Record: 86-76
Key Adds: Jon Lieber, Kenny Lofton
Key Losses: Kevin Millwood, Eric Milton
Manager: Charlie Manuel

While some of their competitors spent the offseason shuffling their rosters, the Phillies appear to be hoping a reshuffling of their bench will get them back to the playoffs. But is Bob Abreu enough of a star to get it done for new skipper Charlie Manuel? And who is the ace on the mound?
  • 1) Where will the Phillies finish in the NL East?
  • 2) Oddsmakers set the over/under on Phillies wins at 82.5. How many games will they win?
  • 3) Is Bob Abreu one of the 10 best hitters in the NL?
  • 4) Which starting pitcher will have the best season?
  • 5) Will Pat Burrell, 28, ever match his 2002 numbers (.282, 37 HR, 116 RBI)?
  • 6) Is Jim Thome, with 423 home runs entering this season, a Hall of Famer if he reaches 500 home runs?
