Four! That's half their fucking lineup.
Like Clapp, I'm impressed with the Phils, but the Braves also improved a lot over the winter, and the Marlins always seem to be in the mix.
I would guess that starting pitching will be the deciding factor in this race. If either Cole Hamels or Johan Santana succumbs to one of their nagging injuries, it'll be a huge blow to their team, and could decide the race.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
For sure. Plus this is the best team the Nats have had. Obviously that's not saying anything, but they're improved.
