George Bush's MLB "dream team." How will they do through June 30th?

Settled as 1 of 2 fall within top 10 of their category

As if he doesn't have better things to do, George Bush responds to this baseball dream team question (okay, so he only selects 2 players and states that this is a "tough question to answer on the fly"). Players selected...Chase Utley (Philadelphia), and Roy Halladay (Toronto).

In the transcript, he states "Ottley," but I am assuming that he is referring to Utley (if not, VOID!).
So, how will his 2 player dream team do through the end of June?

FOR SETTLEMENT - How will they do will be based on battering average for Utley and ERA for Halladay.
