Read: Phillies have Best NL Lineup
According to Jerry Crasnick at ESPN.com, as of right now, the 
Phillies have the fourth-best lineup in baseball, behind only the Tigers, Yankees and Red Sox.
Crasnick believes the Rockies are second to the Phillies.
As of now, the Phillies will go to battle with the following:
1. Jimmy Rollins
2. Shave Victorino
3. Chase Utley
4. Ryan Howard
5. Pat Burrell
6. Jayson Werth
7. Wes Helms or Greg Dobbs
8. Carlos Ruiz
9. Pitcher
Meanwhile, the Mets current lineup should look as follows:
1. Jose Reyes
2. Luis Castillo
3. David Wright
4. Carlos Beltran
5. Carlos Delgado
6. Moises Alou
7. Ryan Church
8. Brian Schneider
9. Pitcher
…i don’t particularly care for these sort of arguments, frankly, a) because it’s December, and b) because we’ll know definitively who has the better lineup when these guys actually start swinging at pitches in a few months…
…that said, i’m more than happy with the Mets offense, which is fairly balanced and traditional…i believe delgado is going to have a better year than last – not much better, but better – and i like the idea of an older, wiser beltran settling in to the clean-up spot, with three hard runners with good instincts at the top of the order…additionally, i’d take alou and church over werth and helms any day…
