Below are the results of the reader survey asking you to speculate on who will start the 2009 season in the Phillies rotation [click on each bar to see the exact percentages].
No one had lost their faculties enough to think Cole Hamels would not be in the Phillies '09 rotation, but he was the only unanimous choice. After Hamels, the majority of you expect the Phillies rotation will include Joe Blanton, Jamie Moyer, Brett Myers, with J.A. Happ edging Kyle Kendrick by just 2%, a virtual tie. It's hard to argue with the notion that Adam Eaton won't return to the rotation, but by the same token, how do the Phillies disentangle themselves from his albatross of a contract?
