It would only take a few (costly) steps to take the Phillies from World Series contenders to World Series champions next year.

During the season

1. Trade a prospects package for Eric Bedard, as suggested by Paul Hagen. It will give the team lots of good pitching options.
2. Inquire about Matt Holiday, though the Phillies probably don't have the necessary parts to get him.

Offseason

1. Re-sign Brad Lidge, whatever it takes.
2. Part ways with Tom Gordon and move Brett Myers into the setup role. 7-8-9 trio of Romero, Myers, and Lidge would be amazing.
3. Sign Brad Penny. With the bad year he's been having -- in a contract year -- he might be more affordable than in any other year.
4. With Eaton in the last year of his contract, they should be able to trade him away during the season to make room for Carlos Carrasco, as long as they eat a portion of his salary. I suggest they trade him and Ruiz together for a left fielder.
5. If both Bedard and Penny can't be obtained, re-sign Moyer. Otherwise, hire him to work with the pitchers.

To offset the cost of Penny, Bedard, and Lidge's new contract, trading Eaton and saying goodbye to Burrell and Gordon will help.

Jen Capone took some awesome photos of Lily. The first of them are visible online here.
