Someone mentioned this in the Phils thread but it's true - i would bet a good portion of the crowd down at the game don't even remember that Abreu played in Philly.

The booing of him tonight and the snide remarks online are dumb. He was one of the best Phillies of all time but people act like he's some scrub.

Quick! Someone make a non-clutch comment!!

No he wasn't. Would you rank him with Schmidt/Ashburn/Carlton? Nobody in their right mind would. I don't even dislike the guy, thought he was a decent player. His departure was necessary for the growth of the younger guys. They said it themselves in interviews they knew they had to step up once Bobby left. Here's what I don't get, what kind of fan reaction do you want for the guy? Do you want the crowd to give him a standing O? He was never a fan favorite, never had a huge play that he's remembered for, and the team didn't make the playoffs while he was here.
Title: Re: Easy's Ex-Philly Athletes Thread
Post by: MDS on June 06, 2012, 08:55:35 PM
yea again you cant blame him for any of that

bobby is what he is and what he is/was was a very good player. the teams he was on werent all that great, and he himself is just a piece of the puzzle and not someone who is going to carry a team to october. if you want to fault him for that, go for it.

the problem was he was the best player on a team that always won 86 games so everyone just pointed the finger at him.
Title: Re: Easy's Ex-Philly Athletes Thread
Post by: SD on June 06, 2012, 08:57:10 PM
I don't even disagree with any of that but what do you want the crowd to do? He left 6 years ago. Do you think he deserves a standing O every time he comes back?

Like MDS said, none of that is his fault. Yes it was time for him to be moved so the others could step up. That's all fine and well. But to discount what he did numberswise is not right. They didn't make the playoffs but is that solely his fault? Nope.

Look at his numbers as a Phil;

.303 BA (13th overall in team history [3rd in modern era behind Ashburn and Kruk])
.416 OBP (4th in team history)
.928 OPS (2nd in team history)
891 runs (t9th in team history)
1474 hits (12th in team history)
348 2B (4th in team history)
42 3B (35th in team history)
195 HR (9th in team history)
814 RBI (9th in team history)
254 SB (7th in team history)
947 BB (2nd in team history)
2491 TB (8th in team history)


Like I said - one of the best to play in Philly.

He's not one of the best, maybe top 50. And, again, I'm not discounting his stats or saying he wasn't a good player. I don't understand what you wanted the crowd to do. Does he deserve a standing O? He's been gone for 6 seasons, has no stand out memorable plays, wasn't a fan favorite, was a good player, and the team didn't win shtein while he was here. He got a few boo's which is to be expected and that was the end of it. What did you expect the crowd to do? He got exactly what I thought he'd get.

Top 50? Get a drug test bro!

What should the crowd do? Cheer the guy and acknowledge him a bit. The fact that he wasn't a fan favorite doesn't speak well for the fanbase. But then again, no one really gave a shtein about the Phils until Thome arrived and that signaled the new attitude and change of commitment by Monty and Co.

The team didn't win shtein because they surrounded him with crap. Look at these lineups!

http://www.baseball-reference.com/teams/PHI/1999.shtml

For him to put up those numbers with people like Mark Lewis, Desi Relaford and Alex Arias around him? Even more impressive.

That's my point too. A guy like Matt Stairs will always get a standing O because of one at bat. Abreu did nothing memorable and wasn't a fan favorite. He's not really worthy of fan attention. Sure his stats were decent but who gives a shtein.

The most memorable thing Abreu did was in the All Star game...and who really gives a shtein about the all star game.

That and the one time he hit a home run he mocked Sammy Sosa's stupid two finger kiss and chest tap. That was pretty hilarious.

Of course Stairs gets a lifetime pass. So do a lot of guys for memorable moments. So what if he didn't have a signature play or moment! The teams he played on sucked ass. There weren't many (or any really) for him to have those because they were farging basement dwellers for the entire time!

The surrounding cast was pitiful, the ownership didn't give two fargs (they paid a 35yr old Ron Gant $6M!!) and the management sucked.

He was a consistent performer on pitiful teams and he put up numbers that rank in a lot of top tens in history!

Title: Re: Easy's Ex-Philly Athletes Thread

Lieberthal is possibly the best catcher in Phillies history. Right now I'd say Ruiz gets the nod but all time the only other catcher comparable is Boone.


And did Rowand get an ovation when he came back? I honestly can't remember. But if you can't understand why a player who smashes his face into a wall to make a catch would be popular in Philly then you don't know the city.

He got a standing O and then got booed. And Rowand should be loved for his GRIT; but that should only go so far. Abreu put up numbers and performed for a high level for years on AWFUL teams.

Post by: PhillyPhreak54 on June 06, 2012, 10:23:12 PM
I don't get the nothing memorable argument or the fan favorite thing either.

When would opportunities have presented themselves to be memorable like Matt Stairs? When they were 60-85 in late August?

The fact that fans do not recognize the numbers put up is his fault? He played in front of about 20k people a night (if that) and the myth that he was unclutch and soft is ridiculous.

No playoffs. And you say nothing memorable because he didn't have a Rowand moment? Because he didn't hit a PH HR in an LCS?

what was he supposed to do that was memorable? tell kevin millwood to lose weight? at first they just plain sucked, then they got better but not good enough because of some mediocre pitching.

the failures of those teams do not fall on him. so, yea, he didnt do anything "memorable" because he didnt have the chance because ed wade was a moron.

i understand what you mean. i know why hes not popular. but you have to go back...when he was traded he got a standing O as a goodbye. when he got voted into the all star game he got an ovation. the fans did like him.

my thing is 6 years later no one remembers him b/c the fans that go werent around then. the small handful that do are WIPers who jerk off to face smashing white people.

then you and johnny cakes chime in with a whole bunch of unfounded nonsense about him not being clutch, not doing anything memorable, as if that is all of the sudden the barometer for being received in a town full of losers and a team thats won two farging titles in 130 years.

They should get however many guys they can from 2008 just to rekindle the clubhouse magic. I mean... They'll continue to lose spectacularly, but there will be more people for Thome to fist-bump when he hits meaningless home runs.

easy may consider suicide in a few years.....


QuoteKANSAS CITY, Mo. - The reality was not lost on Jonathan Singleton as he scanned the home clubhouse at Kauffman Stadium. There were more former Phillies prospects selected for Sunday's Futures Game than current Phillies prospects. He laughed.

"Things happen," Singleton said. "And things don't always turn out the way you want them to."

The hapless Phillies are hurtling toward selling off players in an attempt to reload for 2013. Right about now, they certainly would love the idea of possessing Singleton, Anthony Gose, and Travis D'Arnaud.

Instead, the Phillies sent two unheralded arms to this showcase. One of them, righthander Lisalverto Bonilla, injured his right thumb while clowning around with teammates in a hotel room Saturday night, according to a source. The other, Julio Rodriguez, allowed a three-run home run to the first batter he faced Sunday.

"I know now you don't need to be a 'top prospect' to make this," Rodriguez said, "so it makes me feel a lot better."

Last week, when Baseball America released its midseason top-50 rankings, there were no Phillies. D'Arnaud (19), Singleton (23), and Gose (38) all appeared.

"It's pretty cool," Gose said.

They were surrendered as pieces in packages to acquire Hunter Pence, Roy Oswalt, and Roy Halladay. Singleton, a first baseman, is destroying double-A pitching as a 20-year-old. Gose is 21 and has improved with each step up in competition; he is hitting .290 with 29 steals at triple A. And D'Arnaud, 23, posted a stellar .975 OPS at triple A before tearing a ligament in his left knee two weeks ago.

Gose and Singleton were active Sunday. Gose made his mark with a spectacular diving catch in center. Singleton singled three times, scored two runs, and played some left field - a position the Phillies did not think he could man.

The Phillies' system is barren; it was ranked 27th by Baseball America in March. Include D'Arnaud, Singleton, and Gose, and it would rank as one of the best in baseball.

Few of the organization's top prospects are having super seasons, which left Bonilla and Rodriguez standing next to some of the game's next superstars.

Bonilla's right thumb was so swollen Sunday he could not shake a reporter's hand. Scouts have lauded the 22-year-old's pitching in 2012. He began at single-A Clearwater and quickly earned a promotion to double-A Reading, where he became an all-star.

Over both levels, Bonilla has a 1.55 ERA with 64 strikeouts in 461/3 innings. Opponents are hitting .191 against him.

"It's a great experience," Bonilla said of being selected to the Futures Game. "Not everybody gets here. It's a very nice honor."

But he didn't pitch in it because of a boneheaded mistake.

Rodriguez has been overshadowed by fellow pitching prospects Trevor May, Jonathan Pettibone, and Brody Colvin. He has a 3.76 ERA for Reading, and while he has maintained his strikeout rate from 2011, he is allowing more walks and hits.

His fastball reaches 92 m.p.h. and typically hovers in the high 80s. He throws a slow curveball that he says is his out pitch. Detroit prospect Nick Castellanos mashed a 90-m.p.h. Rodriguez fastball for his homer Sunday.

"He can pitch," one scout said, "but the stuff just isn't there."

Rodriguez allowed three runs (two earned) on three hits and a walk in an inning. The U.S. team defeated the World team, 17-5.

While both Gose and Singleton downplayed the "what if?" game, they acknowledged the motivation of a trade.

"It's obviously something you think highly of, being traded for Oswalt, Jonathan for Pence, Travis for Halladay," Gose said. ". . . It's a tremendous honor to be traded for them and definitely adds some incentive. When you come back, you can say: 'I was traded for this guy.' "

CIN = Rolen, Valdez, Cairo, Madson

NYY = Ibanez, Garcia

lol you read my mind...well partly because the only teams I don't want to win it are WASH, ATL or STL.

I will be rooting hard for OAK and BAL in the AL and CIN in the NL.
