Like you said, a solid 3 starterthat can eat up innings. He reminds me of a Jake Westbrook, who is our 3 starter for the Indians. They both compliment their teams very well.KevinGillmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15307277576015487299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37446836.post-41036904671759659752008-02-02T21:34:00.000-06:002008-02-02T21:34:00.000-06:00i think Eli hate the METSi think Eli hate the METSAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37446836.post-47144072997481373772008-02-02T19:13:00.000-06:002008-02-02T19:13:00.000-06:00I can understand how he thinks the Mets might not ...I can understand how he thinks the Mets might not be a lot better, but his reasoning is way off.

Pedro is all but done, id give him 13 wins this year. Johan must have another CY Young season to get the Mets to the World Series. Perez and El Duque just need to save the bullpen by not bowing out in the 4th.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37446836.post-73275023563176018262008-02-02T17:57:00.000-06:002008-02-02T17:57:00.000-06:00Mets have a way deeper rotation, but the Phillies ...Mets have a way deeper rotation, but the Phillies are way deeper just about everywehere else. Even right down to the bench and bullpen.<BR/><BR/>Mets fail to realize that the Phillies had quite possibly one of the 2 or 3 worst rotations in baseball for most of 2007. Look at the team ERA, it was over 5 for the year. Even a slight improvement there will translate to 5 or 6 more wins and I think the Phillies have done just enough to deepen both the bullpen and rotation. <BR/><BR/>I think the Phillies need to resign Lohse to really solidify the rotation, but the chances of that happening seem to be slim.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37446836.post-63274783612506068312008-02-02T16:51:00.000-06:002008-02-02T16:51:00.000-06:00I like John Maine as a very solid number 2, and yo...I like John Maine as a very solid number 2, and you got to figure Johan will get more wins for the Mets than Tom Glavine did last year, but having said that, you still got to play the games. It doesn't matter how much a team upgrades, they still have to play the game.KevinGillmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15307277576015487299noreply@blogger.com
