What the Phils Need for Their Playoff Run

The Phils have signed Pedro Martinez for a cool mil to hopefully eat up some innings down the stretch run. And rumors are swirling about Roy Halladay coming to Philly in a trade. Perhaps there will be other moves made as well.

My personal opinion? I think the Phils need a submarariner in the bullpen. When was the last time this squad had a sidearmer? Kent Tekulve in the mid-80s? There were probably others that I'm forgetting since his time, but nobody of consequence.

Bring in a submarine pitcher, and we'll soar to the championship. That's my take on it.
