The team has talent, and they still have plenty of time. I think the team that wins the NL East will only have around 88-92 wins. Everyone will be beating each other up.

Hate to ring my own bell, but the Phillies look real good (as do the Braves and the Expos). The thing with the Phillies is that their offense hasn't even hit full stride yet, their pitching staff is pitching good, but not over their heads, with the bullpen doing a little better than originally predicted.

If Mesa doesn't implode during the season and Carlos Silva continuing to dominate the setup role then the Phillies bullpen looks pretty good. Millwood and Wolf as front of the rotation guys are one of the better 1-2 pitchers in the NL.

Re: Cliff Floyd might have woken up!!!

it's about time he stopped doggin' it and woke up. i'll keep my hopes up, but it doesn't look good. if they lose games like they pathetically did vs. the cards, i don't think i can whatch them anymore this year. i think they should fire phillips this season just to shake things up and maybe get them to make a run. in any event, i'm glad i didn't buy tickets this year

The Mets didn't make a ton of bonehead mistakes. Signing Alomar for his gold glove defense and his great bat was a good move. Who knew he was going to flop once he reached the NL? Getting Cedeno also made a bit of sense because they didn't have anybody ( other than Timo ) that could lead off. Cedeno was a canidate for 60 SB when he reached the Mets. Who would know he would absolutely fail with them? Pedro Astacio had the makings of the new ace for the Mets but has had a few injuries since coming to them..not really a bad move. Getting Mo Vaughn was a good move at the time. He was an MVP type of guy in the AL coming off a 30 HR season ( before his injury ) with the Angels. Cliff Floyd has a bat but can't stay healthy. Another decent move to add pop in the lineup. Trachsel has been a guy that can eat up about six or seven innings and give them a chance to win every time out. Getting Scott Strickland and David Weathers really helped their bullpen. Rey Sanchez was just a replacement until the 'Savior' , Jose Reyes , has a chance to get to the majors. Sanchez , by no means has done awful. They did overpay for D'Amico last season after he had one good year with the Brewers. He has made some bad deals ( i.e. trading Izzy ) , but don't hate on the guy too much.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. All those moves were bad. They have a fat pay roll....And what do they have to show for it?

Yep. Their bullpen is not all-star material, but it shouldn't lose them too many games.

7th inning: Silva and Cormier
8th inning: Adams and Plesac
9th inning: Mesa
Throw in Wendell for a batter or two and you have a solid pen.

Don't forget Padilla, who regained his form from the beginning of last year.
