2 of 3 from the Met's. Cliff Lee is pitching to his check and Michael Young is flashing the offensive prowess that made him a perennial all star. This club can make a big statement by going on the road and sweeping the Marlins in their own park.
Yes the Marlins are bad....really bad but the Phillies are merely mediocre next to the top clubs they will contend with in the NL so sweeps of teams like the Marlins and Astros are completely necessary. We finish out the month with a mixed bag, away at the Reds, home for 4 against the Cards, 4 with the Pirates and then away at the Mets. I'd have a lot of confidence in this club if they can go 12-5 or 11-6 during this stretch.
At some point Delmon Young will make his way north. Ruiz will be eligible to come back 4/28 and the line-up could look much different. Revere hasn't done much to prove he can be an every day lead off hitting .211 with a .264 OBP whiles Rollins is hitting .311/.350. The return of those players make for a natural re-shuffling of the batting order:
Rollins
M Young
Utley
Howard
Ruiz
Brown
D. Young
Revere
