I think the Phillies can still make the playoffs without an addition. But it would take a bunch of stuff to go right all at the same time. Utley, Howard, Rollins all stay healthy. Howard improves. Halladay reverts to form. Brown emerges as a full-time player. Revere is outstanding defensively and hits for a very high average. Ruf proves to be for real offensively and usable defensively.

It’s kind of a long list. Halladay being great is the place where there’s the most upside, though.

I’m kind of wondering if we can get to second place in the East as we are presently constituted. Catching Wahington will not happen as things are, I don’t think. Fortunately, we have 37 days till pitchers and catchers report.

The hitters aren’t that good anymore. The team is built around Halladay, Lee and Hamels. I think what those guys do is critical.

I’m kind of hoping we don’t NEED him to have that kind of year as badly as it seems we might, given the corner outfield situation right now.

Oh. Sorry. I repeat myself.
