Yeah, if the Braves win the East, I think Jurrjens, Jones and Kotsay will have to play big roles. I don't think Chipper is going to hit .419 all season, and I think at some point we may see Jurrjens struggle a bit just because he's so young (but he's been awesome to this point). Kotsay's been a tremendous pickup, and if his back stays healthy, he's a heck of a bargain at $2 mil a year. Bbullis: Can you believe how BAD Howard has been? I've watched the Phils play several times this season and that dude is as lost as lost can be. I think the Phils -- with that lineup playing in that ballpark, and the bullpen -- have to be the favorite at this point. But, their starting pitching is suspect beyond Hamels and Myers, and I'd put the Braves cast of folks from No. 3 through No. 5 against the Phils any day of the week. --30-- Admin: Thanks.
