i am thinking Hallady is at least a month away from hopefully being ready, with a 92-94 velocity---his stomach virus was seroius, he lost 10 pounds of body wait. But i still think Hallady knows twit on keeping himself hydrated---he pitch too long in Toronto--he seems clueless about what many many athletes do, go into the game OVER Hydrated. Cripes Halladay seems to think that would NOT being tough. i am hoping Utley has learned his lesson, and doesn't over workout anymore. My point being , baseball games for starters, are meat to be workouts, once the season starts.
Key matter/if Halladay presses to hard that injury from last season won't heal.
He SHOULD spend a month at Lehigh getting his arm strength back, or learn to transition, like Glavie and
Maddox did. The great Maddox was pitching at the speed Halladay is now for years before he retired, he just used his deadly accurate controt, with change up.
Halladay can transition to a 89 mph max velocity, and still be exceptional , as he has that Maddox control.
I'd say you only had a 25% chance to beat Maddox, if you did not get to him in the first inning of the time, your chanes of winning were 25% up to reaching age 39--here is his record of 22years--to age 42.

Also this:"Maddux's 13–15 record in 2005 was his first losing record since 1987, and snapped a string of seventeen consecutive seasons with 15 or more wins (Cy Young had surpassed the 15-win total for 15 straight years; both Young and Maddux reached 13+ wins for 19 consecutive seasons. This is even more impressive considering that Cy Young pitched in an era with no more than 4 regular starters that would average more than 40+ games per season, whereas Maddux pitched in an era with a 5-man rotation where reaching 40 starts in a season was virtually unheard of)."


Relief Pitchers for Phils-so far i am feeling certain on Papelbon/Adams/Bastardo/Aumont--and Cloyd Swingman(or possible or possible temporary fill for Hallady; Cook also a possibility as a temporary fill for Halladay))


Today " Brown's home run was his seventh. He has 16 RBIs and a .389 average. ... Howard's was his sixth. He has 15 RBIs."
