Some times the most striking stats are the simplest. Credit Matt Gelb for statistics; Romero has allowed 22 of 56 batters to reach base. Surely Zagurski would be an improvement.

Revisiting Acquiring John Mayberry Jr.
The Phillies entered the 2011 season minus an All-Star right fielder, down a top prospect, and with a lot of question marks after Ryan Howard‘s place in the line-up.
