There is a unique feeling for Philadelphia fans entering the 2013 season. Much of the talent that helped the team win 102 games in 2011 remains, but the bitter taste of the 2012 season remains strong. Ruben Amaro has quietly filled the team's needs, avoiding the flashy free-agent signing or blockbuster trade that has marked seasons past. The team appears poised to compete, but there is more uncertainty surrounding this team than there has been in many years.
With the competition growing increasingly fierce, the Phillies will need to perform up to potential all season long to have a chance to compete in the NL East. A lot can happen over the course of 162 games and this slideshow will outline some of the key events that I believe will mark the upcoming season.
So without further ado, here are my 7 bold predictions for the Phillies' 2013 season.
