I assumed you were mainly talking about my defense of Burrell because I agree with you more than not about the Eagles, whatever that may say about me.

The Phillies and Rowand both declined their options.

Praise be to the lord. Now we just have to make it a few weeks without an extension. before he can sign with another team

All that means is that the Phils & Rowand will go to arbitration.

mpmcgraw · November 01, 2006, 06:08:27 PM

So they both think they will get the better deal?

It only makes sense if they are going to try to work out a long term deal.

I like Rowand, but if a good young pitcher could be had, then trade him.

Eskin never fails.

Romey,

In looking at Meche's 3yr splits it shows that he actually has given up more HRs at home (32) to what he gave up on the road (31). I believe Moyer's H/A splits weren't too good either. But if Meche is brought in he'd be the 4th/5th guy and those numbers aren't too shabby for what he'd be for the Phils, IMO.

I'm curious to see what happens with Rowand. They could offer arbitration and he can decline it and go the FA route and then the Phils get a draft pick. I hope he comes back.

Get Soriano and Iwamura!!

Rowand can go farg himself. There's gotta be a better guy for RF than him out in free agency.

LBIggle · November 01, 2006, 11:20:06 PM

rowand runs into stuff. therefore, he is a god.

He got hammered on the road last year, Jay. Hammered. And there's no disputing that pitching in Safeco is preferable to pitching in CBP. If they're willing to throw $5M at a guy like that to be their fifth pitcher, why not throw $10M at someone to be another #2?

I agree about Rowand, Soriano & Iwamura, though, although I don't see the Phillies giving Soriano a seven year deal. I don't see anyone else giving him seven years either.

Still, they need pitching and there isn't much out there. They are not going after Zito and I do not want Wolf back. What else is there? Maddux won't come here. Jason Marquis? Jeff Weaver? No thanks. Suppan's postseason drove his price up. He's another Carl Pavano in the making. Not worth it.
