SI.com features a poll conducted with MLB players on who the most "overrated" pitchers in major league baseball are. Four Phillies made the list: Roy Halladay (13th), Cole Hamels (15th), Cliff Lee (11th), and Jonathan Papelbon (fifth).
There are a lot of pitchers on the list such as John Lackey, Ubaldo Jimenez, Joba Chamberlain and A.J. Burnett are on the list. Should Phillies fans be offended? 227 major league players were polled.
I would say they should check out the numbers, but so far this season only Cole Hamels and Jonathan Papelbon are putting them up.
The only way the Phillies pitchers can win, is if they pitch a shut out. Cliff Lee has shown another side of his not so attractive self overall. The best lead off man is frankly questionable. He is the dream of the other team's pitcher as it is one pitch/one out. The changing and changing of the lineup is causing some serious confusion. I think when you consider the millions sitting on the DL it is frankly frightening to think we can get out of this to a play off berth this year. It seems every day is another drama of some sort.
