Right now I would have to go with the Phillies, but alot can happen between now and even the start of spring training.
The Mets still have a few holes in their pitching staff and I don't really see Glavine making that much of a difference. With the signing of Floyd they may have a potent line-up but they were also suppose to have one last season.
The Braves have some huge holes on the offensive side and the bullpen. They owe Castilla & Lopez 12 million dollars so they really have no one to blame but themselves for their economic situation. I'm guessing that AOL/TW was probably pressing the Braves to get their payroll in order so they could place it in their quarterly report (aren't those probably due in December?) They probably fainted if they saw the Braves 15 million dollars over budget.
The Expos also could probably be contenders depending on who they end up trading off and what they end up getting in return.
