The Phillies need to find a reliever for high leverage situations

Trust is relievers is a tough thing to build. A manager, in an ideal world, would have a bullpen stocked with pitchers he can trust in any situation, no matter the handedness of the batter or number on the leverage index. He would like to know that whoever he is bringing in is going to get the job done. Those who have watched the Phillies over the past few years know that this type of reliever has been ever elusive for the team, a cast of characters rotated in and out in the hopes of finding someone who can do the job.
