they did not make any HUGE acquistions beside giving up lee and getting halladay which doesnt make any fucking sense but then again were talking about the phillies...

Not sure about better pitching. 1-5 I like Sabathia, AJ, Pettitte, Vazquez and Hughes over Halladay, Hamels, Blanton, Happ, and Moyer. Like the 1-4 better and the 1-3 is close. Hamels should bounce back this year, but Happ's peripherals do not justify a performance anywhere close to where he was last year.

If you dont think the Halladay is leaps and bounds above Lee you are absurd.

Doc has dominated the AL East and the best line ups in baseball. Going to the NL he will only get better because he now pitches to one less batter a game. He will probably drop his ERA by half a run.

I like what I saw from Happ last year but you are right about his peripherals.

Hamels should almost definitely bounce back and have a strong year.

I was saying the Phillies pitching is better than last year. As is their lineup.

Phillies also added Polanco who is an offensive upgrade over Feliz, although Feliz is as good as anyone with the glove at 3B.

Borbon isn't eligable. I'm just saying.

I like Carlos Santana...I just don't know when he'll be coming up. If I knew more about that...I might have picked him.

Oh yea...and is that Montero vote for me? Because I was joking...I said Jackson was my real vote.

better hitting and pitching then the yankees.

bullpen - edge: yankees

starting staff- edge: yankees

lineup: edge

c - posada/ruiz = yankees
1b - tex/howard = even
2b - cano/utley = phils
ss - jeter/rollins = yankees
3b - arod/polanco = yankees
cf - granderson/victorino = yankees
rf - swisher/werth = phillies
lf -  gardner/winn/ibanez = phillies

lineup = even
