I am not so sure. I remember Frank Wren well enough to know that he doesnt sit on his hands during the off season. He is not scared to pull the switch when it comes to making a deal. However, as we stand now? First of all, two of our top three pitchers are over 40 years old, now granted, they are Tommy and John (I hope I didnt jinx someone there) ...John pitched great, as usual, last year but he is still aging and he has had more surgery than a guinea pig in a genome project. Tommy had the ERA and the quality starts last season (excluding the last 3 games of the season)....but at some point we are going to get diminishing returns on both pitchers due to age. Our #1 or #2 guy is the on again off again Tim Hudson...potentially awesome...and also potentially average, who knows? Then there is Mike Hamstring, I mean Hampton, ...I love the guy but he is a bit brittle and, with a moderate payroll standing somewhere between 85 and 92 million dollars its hard to swallow 15MM+ this season for someone that you cannot count on. I think its quite a gamble at this point to say that we are the favorites. Especially with the Phillies coming on strong and the Mets with their deep pockets. Now, ((if)) we get solid seasons from Glavine, Smoltz, and Huddy then, while we may not be the favorites, we certainly should be able to compete with anyone. Wren should keep it interesting at least.
