This is a great time of year for prognostications, so let’s compare the everyday players for the Phillies and Mets. I hope this rivalry builds and stays with us for a long time.
Catcher
Carlos Ruiz: Solid defense, No. 8 hitter.
Brian Schneider: Solid defense, No. 8 hitter.
Edge: Pick ‘em (yawn)
First Base
Ryan Howard: 105 HR in his first two full seasons.
Carlos Delgado: Once a superstar, now showing his age.
Edge: Phillies
Second Base
Chase Utley: Best in the game, hands down.
Luis Castillo: Good batting average, speed and defense.
Edge: Phillies
Third Base
Pedro Feliz: Great defense, good pop.
David Wright: Best 3B in the game this side of A-Rod.
Edge: Mets
Shortstop
Jimmy Rollins: Backed up his talk with an MVP season.
Jose Reyes: Stopped running out ground balls. Grow up.
Edge: Phillies
Left Field
Pat Burrell: Quietly hit 30 HR with 97 RBI, now in a contract year.
Moises Alou. Older than dirt but can still rake.
Edge: Phillies
Centerfield
Shane Victorino: Great defense and stolen base threat.
Carlos Beltran: Five-tool stud.
Edge: Mets
Right Field:
Geoff Jenkins/Jayson Werth: 40 combined HR is realistic.
Ryan Church: Who?
Edge: Phillies
Yes, I’m a homer, but that’s a legit 5-2-1 advantage for the Phillies. Disagree? Let me hear it! Next up: Pitchers.

Hi Scott,
My name's Justin (User: JuTMSY4) and I'm a writer at ArmChairGM, a sports blog, forum and wiki for all types of sports fans. I'm also a fellow blogger and fan of all Philly teams (Asante Samuel...and hopefully Larry Fitzgerald is next).
I was looking at some blogs and I saw your's and enjoyed it. We need more Philly folks at AGM.
ArmChairGM already has hundreds of writers and commenters, thousands of readers and regularly has articles picked up by ESPN and SportsIllustrated (Hot Mustard seems to love us). Plus, you can plug your blog and double post all articles both on your blog and AGM to get some regular readers.
If you want to add an article right away, here's what you've got to do:
Sign up using this link:
http://www.armchairgm.com/Special:UserRegister&from=1&referral=JuTMSY4
Then click on the "Write" tab and begin. I suggest you type your full article in a word processor and simply paste it, but whatever works for you. Remember, this is a wiki, so you can easily add pictures and hotlinks. Just to get into the groove, I'd try double posting a previous blog article into ArmchairGM and see what happens. I guarantee you more readers and commenters than ever!
