We shall see... everyone expected Arizona to be last in the NL West last year, and expected to just hand the Championship to Philly in April. Philly didn't make the Series, and the DBacks won the NL West. However it shakes out, I'll be looking forward to the Philly-Arizona games this year.

Agreed. We've gotten a little off topic here, but it is nice to have some baseball discussion outside of refractors, serial #'s & sticker auto's (although I do love talking about that stuff)

I'll keep you in mind when they're playing. I might go to a game if they're in Arizona.

RE: Best young pitcher??
btw i would say stras still has to be considered the best on pure talent. If he stays healthy that kid is gonna be an animal. Moore and pineda have major upside too . I wnt even mention yu darvish in this conversation yet. We've seen too many "awesome" japanese pitchers come here and suck balls

Potential and raw talent wise I live the Braves chances with Jurrjens, Hanson, Beachy, Minor, Teheran, Delgado, and Vizcaino, not to mention the vet Tim Hudson who is only behind Halladay in W/L percentage and still putting up 15+ win seasons and a couple solid long relievers as well as Venters and Kimbrel on the back end

Hellickson isn't even considered the best prospect on his own team.

I think, I will go with Kershaw. He is just 23 and already has a Cy Young. Plenty of potential and great future if he doesn't get hurt.
