You base your argument on preseason power rankings by Buster Olney?
The Phillies have done nothing over the last three years to illustrate that they are the best team in baseball. Just because their regular season record has been the best
the last two seasons doesn't make them the best team, we have seen them fail against SF and STL, after the hype every Philly fan gave them.
And before you bring up the Yankees, they were not the favorite the last few years, and have a more recent WS title (ironically enough against Philadelphia).
Uh, the rankings are what we are talking about LOL. And that's what sim was talking about when he said top outfield, infield, etc. The rankings by Olney (he ranks teams, then ranks infield, outfield, starting rotation, bullpen, etc).
SO I said fine, use those top this and top that, but we still have the better team rofl
