For first time in years, Phillies don't have a proven ace (Yahoo Sports)

The Philadelphia Phillies will enter their first season without any remaining members from a star-studded rotation that was baseball's best for a year in 2011. Roy Halladay, Cliff Lee, Roy Oswalt and Cole Hamels helped the Phillies win a franchise-record 102 games and their fifth straight NL East title five years ago. Halladay, Lee and Oswalt have retired.
