July 10, 200917 yr . marlins lost 11 in a row? when? that never happened this season. Phillies are not the best team in the NL and they are not the best team in the NL East. LOL Who is the best team in the NL east then?
July 10, 200917 yr howard hitting .230 last season might have had something to do with him not making the all-star team Who cares about Average? He doesnt get paid to get hits he gets paid to his homeruns. Next Puljos he has been the games top power hitter since his ROY season. He was leading the League in homers and RBI at the time there is no contesting that, even with avg. Your right Howard is an outstanding run producer and he even put up a great BA at .313 in his MVP season but he really had no chance against Pujols who is an absolute machine. P.S. Did Howard make the All Star Team this season(not being rude I'm just wondering).

July 10, 200917 yr LOL Who is the best team in the NL east then? Honestly it should be the Mets but we see how fast there ship is sinking over there lol. Right now the best team is the Phillies because of there great offense and solid bullpen. But the Marlins are a close second and as you said we will see after the ASB since we are going Head to Head in the 1st series back.
July 10, 200917 yr I'm sorry they lost 7 in a row at the beginning of the year after the hot start. My mistake. :whistle

Yes, That would be a correct assessment.

But the Marlins are a close second and as you said we will see after the ASB since we are going Head to Head in the 1st series back. hopefully they don't get halladay. we'd be screwed. Well he'd be a half a year player since his contract is expiring and he'll be wanting HUGE money but he could put them over the top pitching wise. I don't think they have what it takes prospect wise to get him though.
July 10, 200917 yr Yes, That would be a correct assessment. Ehh I'm sorry but i just found out that Adrian Gonzalez also was on the team which makes it 4 1st baseman which is a very bad thing for the NL. And out of the 4 Howard should be the one that shouldn't have made it. Bad choice by Manuel there.
July 10, 200917 yr O.K. so that means they have 3 1st baseman(Pujols, Howard, Fielder)? Yes, That would be a correct assessment. Four 1B, they also have Adrian Gonzalez, eight OFers, and only 2 3B.

I don't think they have what it takes prospect wise to get him though. actually a year and a half. his contract doesn't expire until after next season. and i think they're one of the teams that actually has the prospects and willingness to get halladay. the only other team in the NL that i see that would go after halladay is the dodgers and i don't think they want to give up kershaw.

The Phillies have a very deep farm system right now. 2 or 3 young high quality pitchers. 2 blue Chip outfielders and several upper second tier prospects. The question is whether or not the Phillies are willing to deal the players. Not if they have them.

Sandoval over Howard, Werth or Victorino would have been a smarter choice but IMO over Howard since they already have 3 1st baseman and Sandoval can play 3rd, 1st and Catch.

July 10, 200917 yr And Fyi Jon Heyman, on MLB network, just said the Phillies are the favorites to get Halladay.
July 10, 200917 yr And Fyi Jon Heyman, on MLB network, just said the Phillies are the favorites to get Halladay. That's not exactly a secret.
July 10, 200917 yr And Fyi Jon Heyman, on MLB network, just said the Phillies are the favorites to get Halladay. That's good for you. But you might not like the fact that are going to trade a couple of good prospects for him. Even if you get Doc you still need one more Solid starter unless Hamels turns it around.

I'm not worried about Hamels. I look at it like this.. Howard Utley Rollins Victorino, werth are all signed and they are all in their primes for about the next 2-3 seasons. That's the window right now for this team as it is currently constructed to win championships. I would like to see them do what they can now to maybe win again once heck even twice, then worry about rebuilding afterward. I will sacrafice a down era for a golden era.

One championship is probably all your gonna get unless you make your team that much better next season. I don't think you'll get anywhere past the 2nd round even with Halladay if you get to the playoffs.

I think this is a bit of wishful thinking coming from a division rival.
July 10, 200917 yr And what did you think last season? I think this is a bit of wishful thinking coming from a division rival. Last year you had you closer saved 41 out of 41 games and this year he's already blown 6 along with your set up man blowing 4 saves of his own. Last season your Shortstop wasn't hitting below .230 and have an OBP lower than .300. Last Season you Ace pitcher didn't have as high of a WHIP or ERA as he does at the same time this season. And most importantly last season you didn't have as many injury's as you do this season. You have a great chance making the playoffs this year but teams like the Dodgers, Giants, and Cardinals are better then they were last season.
July 10, 200917 yr All of those issues you listed have been correcting themselves. J-Roll has been hot lately. Lidge has been filthy since his knee is better. Hamels had a great start last game. Ibanez is back.
