Yankee's stadium is even smaller. Cliff Lee could hit pop fly's that go for HR's there..
We are a lot younger team, but had a lot of minor injuries at the end of the season and could use the days off.. though I dont like 6 days off.. thats way too many. 3 or 4 would be fine.
I thought the Phils may put Ben Francisco in the outfield and have Ibanez be the DH.. but it looks like the may use Stairs as the DH. A Stairs bunt could be a homer in NY.

I think that CB is going to suit the yankees well, which is the problem. They are a station to station, traditional AL pound the ball team. Philly has some guys like that in Werth, Howard, Stairs but I dont think they can beat the Yankees in a bunch of 10-8 games. The Phil starters have to shutdown the first 7 innings and hope to hold on.
