Phillies departures and Predictions

We lost a lot of talent this off season, but we also lost a lot of bad
attitudes. Brett Myers signed with former Phillies GM Ed Wade and the
Astros, mainly because Ed Wade stockpiles former Phillies. As you may
recall Myers was not huge with the fans due to some off the field
incidents and lack of performance on the field. Chan Ho Park is still a
free agent because he seems to think he can make it as a starter….HA!
Scott Eyre has retired because the Phillies wouldn’t offer him a major
league contract. Scott will be missed as he brightened everyone’s day
up. Miguel Cairo is a Red now, thank God. Cliff Lee and his wanted
$20+M salary is gone to Seattle. Pedro Feliz has taken his slick
fielding, soft batting self to Houston as well.

My predicted

competitive although player on left will most likely win).

My prediction is that Hallladay will annililate the competition in the AL East this season! You can bank on that, and I’ll be watching all the way! We Like Roy, We Like Roy!

I agree. He will be pitching in New York, Washington, Atlanta, and Florida which are pretty much all pitchers parks.
