Phillies

Mike Pelfrey has been given the chance to lock down the Mets' fifth starting spot, but his need to pitch well has increased substantially due to Pedro Martinez's hamstring injury. Pelfrey will try to do just that when New York resumes its three-game series against the Philadelphia Phillies tonight at Shea Stadium.
Philadelphia Eagles
The Eagles own a league-high-tying 11 picks in the 2008 Draft, and that number could swell to 12 if the team deals cornerback Lito Sheppard for a mid-round pick, as expected. Because Philadelphia doesn't have any absolute crying needs, it can afford to select based on overall value rather than for position, though if the team fails to pick a receiver, a versatile defensive end, and a starting safety candidate fairly early in the proceedings, it will be a surprise. Elsewhere on defense, a young linebacking corps could use some additional depth, and a potential nickel corner would be nice as well. Apart from the receiver slot, the biggest offensive concern has to be along an aging line, where Jon Runyan (34 years old) and the recently re-re-named Tra Thomas (33) are among the oldest tackle tandems in the league.
