Kyle Kendrick's continued success may determine if the Phillies make the playoffs, especially if Roy Halladay is not 100%.

Jeremy Horst was acquired for Wilson Valdez during the 2011-2012 offseason. Well, that worked out pretty well.

Kevin Frandsen was a surprising bright spot for the 2012 Phillies. What can we expect from him in 2013?

Is there pathos to be found in the story of Yuniesky Betancourt? Likely not, but that doesn't mean we won't give it a go.

On the surface, lefty reliever Antonio Bastardo's 2012 season represented a significant step back from his outstanding 2011 campaign. A closer look reveals a good bit of bad luck and small sample volatility, and good reason to be hopeful..

A decent fifth starter . . . if he had good defense behind him. Unfortunately, that's not the Phillies this year.
