How worried should we be that Gillick is a lame duck now? I shudder to
think of the Gillick performance of the last off-season peppered with
lame-duckiness.

Plus next year, the Phillies *will* be the team to beat, for real.

*IF* they get decent pitching. That is unless you think those ragged arms
can pull off another miracle.

Yeah, that is aktewally the one thing I left out. I think Gillick is smart
enough now to realize Eaton is a bust, Garcia is a bust, Lieber (even though
he wasn't starting) is a bust, so --- yeah - losing 3 out of 5 starting
pitchers calls for at least one arm, I reckon.

I think the biggest contract from the off season went to Barry Zito, who
pretty much everyone wanted, and while I cannot say I know how he played,
his ERA was one of the worst in the league!
