If they rise to a level close to that, the Phillies are formidable. Omar will, Travis might. Avoid Pat Burrell. He's a classic example of a young player who can't possibly meet expectations. Fantasy owners will chase him with more exuberance than they will Bobby Abreu, Larry Walker, Luis Gonzalez, Tim Salmon, etc.
Some folks never learn.
If you grab Scott Rolen or Robert Person, have a back-up plan. At least four pitchers will attempt to close games for the Phillies this year. None will succeed. This is the second of four columns dedicated to showing you the best and worst of each team in the majors. I'll try my best to respond to all of you.
