Phils’ Four Aces Take Field
CLEARWATER, Fla. (AP) – The Philadelphia Phillies have assembled – on paper – a starting rotation that’s being compared to some of the all-time best in the majors. Roy Halladay, Cliff Lee, Roy Oswalt and Cole Hamels would be aces on most staffs. Joe Blanton is probably the best fifth starter around.
After pitchers and catchers held their first workout of spring training on Monday, the Fab Five took the stage for a joint news conference. Lee put all the hype into perspective.
“I think we haven’t thrown a single pitch as a group yet, so it’s kind of early to say we’re one of the best rotations in the history of the game,” Lee said. “Obviously, we’re a very talented group, and there is potential for all of that. But it’s just that, it’s potential.”
