not with those injuries...and i think Atlanta's offense is gonna be baller and there pitching staff is underrated
we have 1 significant injury and Utley will be back in a month or 2. this lineup is still money, remember all we lost was werth and he was a bench player when we wont the world series. we still have 2 mvp's rollins, howard, stolen base leader victorino, ibanez hits alot of hr's and rbi's, ruiz is always clutch and our defense is stellar, and when utley was out last yearvaldez came in and did a great job. i dont even have to talk about the pitching staff, everyone knows.
if you think atlanta is gonna win the division i'll just point and laugh now, i dont even have to wait until october. Atlanta is on the up and coming, they'll be in the race for about a month or 2, then we'll brak away from the pack and win the division.
rex youre letting your hatred for your own team for not going out and getting the best -players available influence your thought about the phillies. this team is money and is definately gonna win the division, even if we had all bench players (which we dont) we would still win the division, look at the NL, who can stand up to that phils pitching staff? noone.
youre just hating and not looking at the team as a whole, we have 1 player out. 1 player isnt gonna win the whole thing for us. we have alot of great players and we lost 1 who quite frankley made a habbit of swinging at bad pitches and choking in the playoffs. and letting werth go, we got LEE!!! haters gonna hate. we're winning the division and have the best chance on paper to win it all.
paper means shit...the tigers were the best team on paper and had the best offense in the history of baseball in the preseason a few years back...having all the best players does not mean shit...look at the yankees of the 2000's....talk is cheap my friend...plus polanco is key to your team and he can't seem to stay healthy...i think loosing werth is gonna hurt you guys more then you think...its just my opinion laugh all you want the season has not even started yet
so now kruck is the end all be all? dominc brown barely played last year and wasnt even on the playoff roster and would just be a bench player. since when has polonco been hurt? he had a mild injury in spring training and was fine all last year leading the team in avg. polonco and rollins will get on base, howard, ibanez, ruiz, victorino will knock those runs in.
i know paper doesnt mean shit, but cmon man? you cant ignore their rotation. you can rip aprt the lineup all you want (even though the lineup is fine) wertht didnt do shit for us in the playoffs last year and i would trade werth for lee ANYDAY. we got alot better, not worse. all 5 of our starters are more than capable of winning at least 15 games and a few of them mopre then 20. this is the team to beat in the NL east whether you want to recognize that or not.

that lineup without utley is one of the better lineups in MLB. all i'm sayin rex is i know youre madd cause the phils went out and aquired great players, but your opinion is just wrong in this situation. we'll win the east by at least 10 games and halfway throught the season we'll be up 10 games in the division. i cant even believe people are trying to campare the 2. atlanta has 1 maybe 2 pitches that are decent, we have 4 great ones and 1 decent, and their lineup is just not better than ours even without utley. cmon srsly?
lol i am just a die hard fan...i ain't made they went out and spent...i just don't think there as good as the hype...i mean they will probably make it to the nlcs....but with there age and lack of durability i just don't see them as the best team in baseball
Pitching wins championships, we seen it last year with the Giants... This team is not that old, Ibanez is the only player over 35 in the lineup. You better believe the hype, Halladay, Lee, Hamels, Oswalt all pitching for one team? cmon bro, u know they gonna win the Division, we'll talk about championship once it gets closer to october, but theres not doubt in my mind they are winning the division.
