Phillies manager Charlie Manuel has made it known that he wants the team to acquire a hitter for the second half of the season.
"We could use a hitter in our lineup," he said. "At least one. We could definitely use a solid right-handed hitter."
Philadelphia already has a $175 million payroll and their sights set on a World Series victory.
"Let me put it to you like this," he said of adding a right-handed hitter. "The odds get better if we had one."
