The Phillies' Ryan Howard, left, and Chase Utley watch from the dugout during the ninth inning of a loss to the first-place Nationals last month in Philadelphia. Among the Phillies’ concerns heading into 2013 are the health and ages of core players such as Howard and Utley. Howard turns 33 next month and Utley will be 34 when the 2013 season begins.
