But even if the Phillies could have kept both Thome and Howard, the order in the standings in the NL East wouldn't change. I know this sounds biased coming from a Met fan, but realistically speaking, no player - not Pujols, nor Johan Santana, not David Ortiz, not A-Rod - can singlehandedly make up twelve games. Yes, the race would be closer, most likely. But the Mets would still be in first. Look at the Win Shares, think about who Thome would be replacing, so on an so forth. It'll make a difference, just not as big as twelve games. Sorry, Coley. But even if the Phillies could have kept both Thome and Howard, the order in the standings in the NL East wouldn’t change.
