Hey Jay:

I don't think Halladay had more than one or two bad games last year.  Wishful thinking, on your part (you wouldn't have said that if he wasn't on your fantasy team). :)

Here are Halladay's first three starts from last year:

March 31, 2003: 5 2/3, 3ERs (vs Yanks)

April 5, 2003: 7 IP, 2 ER

</a>

April 11, 2003: 7 IP, 3 ER (10 Ks)

"Not that bad for a young man," as we say.

Patterson isn't overrrated, in my opinion (and I bet if he was on your fantasy team, you'd be raving about him). :)  He hasn't had a chance to prove himself.  The guy was MVP caliber until his season-ending injury early last season.
