Phillies Chasing Championship Season
Heading into the 2011 season, the Philadelphia Phillies boast a starting rotation that could be described as every poker player's dream - four aces . The four-time defending National League East champions pulled off the coup of the off-season, adding baseball's best left-hander, Cliff Lee, to a rotation that already featured Roy Halladay, Cole Hamels, and Roy Oswalt. Such a collection of talent on one staff is unprecedented in baseball history, rivaled only by the Atlanta Braves' rotation of Greg Maddux, Tom Glavine, and John Smoltz of the 1990s.
