Am I the only one who thinks Michaels would be of more use than either of these relievers?

They have Shane Victorino who they need to give some time to. Now that they no longer have a platoon in CF they have no reason to use 4 OF's like they did last year other than to PH and spot starts.

And they have 2 good young players in the minors who could be ready soon. Plus the guy they got on waivers from ARZ. Plus Victorino.

They have a greater need for a good RP right now.

Gimme Betancourt.

Gooooo roid-monkeys!

Franklin sucks. It wouldn't shock me if he got cut.

His contract isn't guaranteed? I thought it was.

Any new ILK rumors?

Supposedly Betancourt isn't available, so it's Mota or Rhodes. bleh...

Westy · January 22, 2006, 08:59:24 PM

Phils asked about Riske and were turned down

LBIggle · January 22, 2006, 09:04:21 PM

the phils also asked to be allowed to participate this year.

mlb is reviewing the request.

If we can't get the roid monkey...get Mota.

QuoteDepending on how right-hander Guillermo Mota's physical goes, Coco Crisp could be Boston's new center fielder sometime this week.The Indians and Boston, according to a major league source, are considering a six-player trade that would send Crisp and two low-level minor leaguers to Boston for third base prospect Andy Marte, Mota and another a minor league pitcher. The Indians would then trade Mota to Philadelphia for outfielder Jason Michaels.There's also a chance that the Indians could keep Mota, if he passes his physical, and send David Riske or Arthur Rhodes to the Phillies. If Mota doesn't pass the Indians and Phillies physical, the three-team deal could be scrubbed

enough with these sharades, either do it or dont do it

MDS · January 23, 2006, 02:28:55 PM

it appears if the deal goes down, the Phillies want Arthur Rhodes in return.

PoopyfaceMcGee · January 23, 2006, 03:57:33 PM

Arthur Rhodes is an excellent guy out of the bullpen.

This is 1999, right?

BigEd76 · January 23, 2006, 04:09:21 PM
