After a winter of celebrating their first championship in franchise history,the Phils get down to the business of defending that title,and to do that they went and added a few new parts while subtracting a few others.As the Phils break camp and head north after a pretty mediocre 10-14 spring training there are quite a few questions that will need to be resolved over the coming season.First of all,How will the Phillies respond to being the hunted rather than the hunter?,they'll no longer be able to sneak up on people like they did last season.Will Richie Allen and Danny Cater be able to duplicate what they did last season?The chances of this happening are pretty slim so how will the team compensate? How will surprising 5th starter Steve Carlton handle the spotlight? These are just a few of the things to look for as the 1965 season gets underway.So without further adieu,LET'S PLAY BALL!!!
