Will Brad Lidge and J.C. Romero be ready to start the season?
Both are recovering from elbow surgeries, so Amaro has said there is a chance they won’t. But Amaro also said if they aren’t ready to start the season, they should be ready a short time after the season starts. The Phillies better hope so. 6. How concerned should fans be about the bullpen? It remains to be seen. If Lidge and Romero come back healthy, and if Amaro does a good job filling the remaining holes, they should be OK. But right now, I think the bullpen is the team’s biggest concern. It went 0-1 with a 5.74 ERA and one blown save in the World Series. It needs to be better than that. 5. Who is going to be the fifth starter? Jamie Moyer is the guy, but who knows? He has been in and out of the hospital since October and is scheduled to have a minor knee surgery next month. He also struggled last season to the point that Amaro signed Pedro Martinez to take his job in the rotation. If Moyer isn’t the man, Kyle Kendrick appears to be next in line. 4.
