06/07 Phillies Offseason Thread

[MDS]

i just dont understand how the phillies can think they can go into a season with the defense they have and make the playoffs...its an embarrassment...i mean half their farging defense is made up of hacks

burrell and howard eat ass. helms and utley are mediocre. rollins, rowand and victorino are good. dont know about barajas, but he cant be worse than lieberthal.

hardy hacks, but its pretty below average.

Lieber injured -- could begin season on DL

Did he break his hymen?

Rowand has a noodle arm as well.  He has a good glove, but he's terrible with outfield assists.  The only really good defensive players they have are Rollins and Vic.

utley isnt a hack. mediocre enough. remember when we used to have marlon anderson play a short right field?

I think its still intact. A couple more weeks of his bellyaching though and it should burst. Burrell on the other hand....

Speaking of Burrell...where has his boy BillyBeane been lately? Or should I not say that name because he's like Beetlejuice...

[ice grillin you]

utley isnt a hack

he led the major leagues in 2b errors last year...and its not like he has any range....i call that hack you call that medicore

[NGM]

The Phillies defense is pathetic. Period

Karim Garcia was released.  Looks like Dobbs and Bourn might make the roster...

[Rome]

Dobbs has earned it.  Bourn is going to be the 25th man on the roster anyway, so better to release Garcia now and let him hook up with another team before teams start the bloodletting in a couple of days.

He hit some fricken BP bombs in that spring training game against Houston, though.

Phillies Post Game Live Debuts April 2

Comcast SportsNet has announced its panel for Phillies Post Game Live.

Host Ron Burke will be joined by former Phillies Mitch Williams and Dave Gallagher along with incumbent analyst John Marzano.

Williams, Gallagher and Marzano spent a combined 30 years in the major leagues. Williams, an 11-year veteran, played for the Phillies from 1991-93. Gallagher played nine seasons in the majors, including part of the 1995 season with the Phillies.

Marzano, a native of South Philadelphia, graduated Temple and played baseball for the Owls from 1982-84. He spent 10 seasons in the majors, including six with the Boston Red Sox, who selected him in the first round of the 1984 draft.

Phillies Post Game Live debuts on April 2 following the season opener against the Atlanta Braves. It then will air after every Phillies game televised by Comcast SportsNet. Comcast SportsNet will air 101 Phillies games this season, and all home games will be shown in high definition.

Hahaha!  That actually sounds entertaining.  The few times I've seen it the show was tedious as hell.  Wild Thing should spice things up a bit at least.

Mitch Williams would be my hero if not for Joe Carter's steroids being stronger than his.
