New Pitchers • Shawn Wooten dropped close to 25 pounds in the offseason and is in the best shape of his career. • New closer Billy Wagner and his high-octane fastball could be the missing piece to the championship puzzle. • Tim Worrell returns to a setup role after recording 38 saves in 45 chances for the NL West champion Giants last year. • Eric Milton, an accomplished starter and reliable innings eater, is hungry after missing most of last season with knee problems. • A former All-Star and one of baseball's top closers, Roberto Hernandez will serve as a middle reliever in Philly's much-improved bullpen.
