Phillies shortstop Jimmy Rollins believes that this year's edition of the team is better than the 2009 one.

Philadelphia, coming off a World Series win, lost to the Yankees in the Fall Classic.

"We were a pretty good team," Rollins said of the 2009 team.

"We didn't play good for six games, but we were a pretty good team. You pick up a guy like Roy Halladay, it's tough to say you're not better automatically. I would say it's pretty close. I couldn't say we're much better, but when you get a guy like Roy Halladay, it seems like at least another five wins on his own."
