No. 5: Starting pitcher Alex Cobb

It’s no secret the Phillies need immediate help with their pitching staff. The 30-year-old Alex Cobb would be a great addition to the pitching rotation in the 2018 season.

Cobb, who has pitched for the Tampa Bay Rays his entire six-year career, posted a ERA of 3.66 and finished the 2017 season with a 12-10 record. This was Cobb’s first full season since having Tommy John surgery, and while his numbers weren’t at peak 2013-2014 Cobb level, he was still a strong starting pitcher.

Cobb could certainly help out the team, and the group of young pitchers the Phillies currently have.
