Myers Confident In Rotation

Good stuff from Randy Miller today. He talked to Brett Myers about the state of the Phillies starting rotation:

“It’s probably the best in the National League. That’s my opinion, and nobody is going to care about my opinion.”

Myers can definitely say he could be the best pitcher in the National League, well, if you look at his spring statistics. He and Cole Hamels form a fantastic 1-2 combination. After them, however, it’s anyone’s guess. We can’t say Kyle Kendrick will automatically duplicate his 2007 success, and Jamie Moyer is only getting older. Then there’s Adam Eaton. No explanation necessary.

I’m glad Brett’s putting his mouth out there — he’s been very outspoken this spring, a true leader. I just hope he’s somewhat correct about where the five-man group stands.
