I wouldn't suggest messing with Cole much, though his currents might be a touch low, his potentials are very high and he should max them out very, very quickly in most games.
Liriano is also pretty highly rated, if you mess with him too much, you'll make him too good. His rl BB's and hits allowed are both lower than he's ever managed before in his career, and his K's are higher. So there's some real flukiness (is that a word?) going on there, unless you actually think he's genuinely improved beyond all recognition at 31 years old!
Burnett, same deal. His hits, walks and HR's allowed are all flukily low so far, totally out of line with his track record over the last 15 years. So I think this year so far for him is a total, absolute, fluke and he'll be regressing heavily very soon.

Idk, on the Phillies. Running dozens of test seasons during beta, I'm pretty sure I never saw them above .500 or in the playoffs. So maybe it's still early in your season? Or maybe they just happened to hit the 1 in 100 odds that they'd actually be any good?
Generally I found the Pirates were very much competitive as well, the Brewers too, but I don't think anyone expected the Brewers to be this bad.
