Posted on February 26th, 2008 - 10:42 pm by BaseballTalkOnline
In a surprise move, the Phillies are going with Brett Myers, not Cole Hamels, on Opening Day. It will be Myers’s second consecutive Opening Day start, with a stint as the team’s closer mixed in.
The decision was said to be done due to matchup reasons, though Todd Zolecki suggests it may have been a move to boost Myers’s confidence.
