I thought it was interesting that you did not include Glenn Wilson
or John Wockenfuss in your list of Phillies hitters. These are
the two players the Phils received from the Tigers for Willie
Hernandez. I think that this was the deal that put Detroit where
they are. Hernandez is in my opinion a shoe-in for the American 
Leagues Fireman of the Year and in the top five for the Cy Young.

As far as the Phillies taking it all, I don't see how the Tigers
can get beat. They have 3 starting pitchers that have won at least
15 games (Morris,Petry,Wilcox) an excellent righty-lefty combo
in the 'pen (Hernandez (7-2, 28 saves), Lopez (10-0, ?(10) saves)),
defense up the middle (Parrish(28hrs), Trammel(.315), Whitaker(.300)
and Lemon (.280)) and the best record in baseball. 

I rest my case.
