Alright I'll take your word for it, now I'm a little scared about losing those bets. Fine for now though with Halladay's 2.84 ERA.

And I'll stick with Buerhle as #1, I think he'll have a career year. He's solid, and pitches 7 innings nearly every game just as Halladay does (when healthy).

The better bet is Johan, but it's not like you bet on a player that realistically couldn't outperform him.

Buerhle is an interesting guy with Tom Glavine career potential. I can see why you're high on him. The big difference is, Buerhle is chasing a 150 ERA+ type season, while Johan is already there and is realistically shooting for a 200+ ERA season. All he has to do is pitch as well as he is fully capable of for almost an entire year.

I don't think there's any doubt Santana is #1 unless you're being a naive/ignorant homer. O:-)

Id make you a bet that Both Buerhle and Santana get under 150/200 eras. ;-7

Gustavo Chacin is #1, 4-0 in 4 starts this year. What other lefty has done that this season? O:-) :-D

And Shelton has 10 HR's in one month. He's on pace for about 70. So what...it's April. ;-D O:-)

They Yanks would deal Unit for Buerhle in about, oh, two seconds. Buerhle and Santana are 1 and 1a, no doubt. Santana's the better fantasy choice, but real world they're about dead even. And looking out about 10 years, Buerhle's the one whose career trajectory I'd rather bank my franchise on.

Most of the has to do with age and salary...
