Edward Mujica/Michael Mariot/Chris Leroux – “…And Justice for All” (1988)

“One” is a classic. “Blackened“, “Dyer’s Eve” are both solid pieces of music. Name me another song off of the album. I’ll wait.

This group reminds me of this album because they could end up being solid pieces of a bullpen committee. Each has a strength that the Phillies team as currently constructed could use to its benefit.

However, taken as a whole, these pitchers are just not going to measure up to the other options. Don’t get me wrong, “Justice” is a good album. Go to a concert and if they play something from here, you’re going to enjoy it. These guys could be good relievers. Closer material? I just don’t see it.
