The pitching, while still not great, should be somewhat improved with the amount of competition they have having heading into spring, plus guys like Aaron Nola and Jerad Eickhoff will start the year in Philly. Even with possible growing pains, overall they should figure to be better than the performances Jerome Williams, Chad Billingsley, Aaron Harang and Sean O'Sullivan turned in last year. And you have to assume that Maikel Franco will play more than 80 games. Right there alone should give the Phillies a few extra wins.
