Philadelphia Phillies Offseason Moves: Trades and Free Agent Signings

Headline Topic: Phillies

With Ben Revere and Michael Young being obtained, Amaro signed Mike Adams and John Lannan as free agents. Both men bolster the pitching staff. 

Adams surgery caused his numbers to decline last season, but if healthy he should be as consistent as Ryan Madson once was. That is major news and could mean that 2013 looks far different than 2012 did. 

We mustn't forget that the Braves are no slouches and that the Nationals will have one Mr. Strasburg for a full season. 

The Phillies should play somewhere between their 2011 and 2012 regular season selves in 2013. If that will be enough to make the playoffs is yet to be seen.

Baseball cards

For those of us who are old enough to remember
When Baseball Cards were King, the spring is always a special time of year.

Bygone days spent with elementary school days and family members opening packs of Topps cardboard gold never truly fade away.
