The Phillies have a lousy offense this year.  Their OF is only a little better than the Mets.  If Howard and Utley are healthy all season, they may get up to league average offense at best.  Ben Revere? Domonic Brown / Delmon Young (hope springs eternal!).  Michael Young.  And which aging troika would you rather have -- Jeter/Arod//Tex or Rollins/Utley/Howard.  I'll take the Yankees even with only half a season of ARod.

The Phillies 2014 are the Yankees 2013, except without Cano.

I will pick the Phils for 85 wins on the back of great pitching, with Lee going 14-10.

I asked that because wins are notoriously difficult to predict. I don't think anyone expected Lee to win just 6 games last year. That said, I think 14 wins is a reasonable projection. It shouldn't really be a significant factor in evaluating SP's, though.

Grabbed him at no 49 in my 14 man league, an ace of his caliber at that point was too good to pass up.  Top 5 all day, regardless of whether he gets pointless wins (dumbest stat in sports).
