"SI.com has come out with their 2012 MLB power rankings, and the Phillies come in at No. 3 on the list.

With additions to the bullpen like Jonathon Papelbon and Chad Qualls, the Phils should be contenders once again.

However, citing the loss of Roy Oswalt and Ryan Howard's injury to his Achilles as major reasons, Sports Illustrated thinks that the Phils won't have enough firepower to win as many games as they did in 2011. Also, another big factor was the NL East, which SI.com calls "baseball's new super-division" because of the Nationals and Marlins, ranked at 12 and 14 respectively."
