Friday Faceoff – Philly Aces

Cliff Lee took the baseball world by surprise and rejected both the Yankees and Rangers to play for the Philadelphia Phillies in 2011. Philadelphia is now stacked with a pitching staff which includes Lee, Roy Halladay, Roy Oswalt and Cole Hamels. But if given the choice, who would you pick?

Cliff Lee (2002 – present)

  • 9 seasons
  • 3.85 ERA
  • 102 wins – 61 losses
  • 5 shutouts
  • 150 homeruns allowed
  • 1085 strikeouts
  • 350 walks
  • 2.13 postseason ERA
  • 7-2 postseason record

Roy Halladay (1998 – present)

  • 13 seasons
  • 3.32 ERA
  • 196 wins – 86 losses
  • 19 shutouts
  • 196 homeruns allowed

  1. Lee is the post season MAN!!

    There is no question the Phillies will face the Bosox in the World Series. I say this before the first pitch of the year without hesitation.

    Regarding the comparison it is EXTREMELY important to have the number of innings pitched to better evaluate.
