Bloomberg is Bullish on Phillies Pitching
Even me, lover of all things Cliff Lee (and part-time poet), thinks third-parties are going overboard with rankings like CP Lee at number three.

No argument that Lee pitched better than his numbers reflected last year. But third? Seems a bit high.
It's not just Lee getting some love from Bloomberg. The Phillies have three of the top eight pitchers on on Bloomberg's list:
Of course, fantasy and real world are quite different (unless your Paul Holmgren), but decent praise here.
