Eaton & Meche > Wolf & Batista

[Rome]

WAR Gavin Floyd!

[BigEd76]

Years, Money?

1 yr + team option, about $8M or so (hometown discount)

[MDS]

Eaton & Meche > Wolf & Batista

Eaton has never had an ERA under 4
Meche's best season was this one, 11-8 with 4.48
Batista just sucks

Wolf was a better option, but he's gone now.
I'd give the edge to Meche right now.

Actually, I'd give a young bull a chance to win it. If he fails, make a trade.

[SunMo]

how would another left handed slop thrower who can't go 6 innings be the best option?

Which young bull? We have none.

Gillick better pull his hands out of his pants and get busy signing people. I think some of this hesitation is coming from that idiot Monty. He is so afraid to overpay a guy here or there that he doesn't OK a lot of stuff.

Gotta get Borowski now. Start there and then find another BP arm and another SP.

I'm wondering if they're sitting back and waiting until this Friday because it's the deadline for teams to offer their FAs arbitration.  If the Marlins don't offer arbitration on Borowski, the Phils can sign him for nothing but cash, but if they sign him now, they lose their 1st-round pick...

Good point. Thats gotta be it.

[BigEd76]

The same thing applies to David Weathers, Chad Bradford (who will probably return to the Mets), Eric Gagne, Roblowto, Russ Springer and Rudy Seanez...

[PhillyPhreak54]

Another thing that applies to those guys is that they all suck.

[BigEd76]

Well yeah, but at least you aren't losing the #19 overall pick for them if you wait a week.... 

[MDS]

All that for a pick that will be wasted on some zesty outfielder. Holla.

[PhillyPhreak54]

No doubt.

Are the Phils going to offer arb. to any FAs? will they get any picks in return for losing Wolf?

[BigEd76]

They'll probably offer arb. to Dellucci and Fultz, but not to Rhodes, Lieberthal or White.  Wolf was a Type C (no compensation)...

[mpmcgraw]

Which young bull? We have none.

Segovia, Happ, Gonzalez, Germano, and Carrasco. 

And those are only the ones who I am almost positive will start the season in AA or higher. 

We are actually pretty loaded with pitching prospects.  Carrasco is a stud.
