Cory Lidle may actually turn out to be the more important part of the deal with Philly. His ERA in pinstripes is 3.36 and makes for a solid fourth starter come playoff time. The lineup as it is now, with the addition of Abreu, is as dangerous as any in the league. Gojira will be back perhaps in a week and opposing bullpens will be called in even sooner.
