Glazer reporting one year deal!

Yes!

Interesting. Who goes to make room?

PhillyPhreak54 · September 29, 2009, 02:43:31 PM

No word yet, but I'm guessing it will be Garcia

You are probably the only one excited about this Phreak.

The Front Office went from being ultra-conservative to absolutely insane

That's cool, I'm ok with being the only one pumped up about this

But there is no downside to taking a shot at bringing him in. The MLB play of Gaither has been inconsistent. He had a strong game against Carolina, then disappeared against New Orleans and he had a nice stat line against KC. But he's never been a true MLB. That was apparent when they moved Bradley there prior to last year.

Joe Mays can't play STs well, doesn't defend the pass well and can't stay healthy.

This is no favor signing. They didn't pursue him for shteins and giggles. If it was a favor to Trot then it would have been the old "don't call us, we'll call you" response after the first workout.

But he gets two workouts and looks good in both.

Why not?

Why not just pile that money up in the parking lot and burn it?

So can I pencil you in for a nice new Trotter jersey?

this is one of those moves where i'm kind of excited because i'm a trotter fan so it's cool to see him back in an eagles unifrom.........for the 3rd time, but at the same time i don't really think this move improves the team much, if at all.

+1 for nostalgia
-1 for making a difference

I think (yeah, yeah..go farg yourselves) that he's going to help a lot. With Bunkley and Patterson playing so well inside and helping to keep blockers out of the way, I think this helps them on running downs for sure.

McDermott has to disguise his pass defense deficiencies, but that can be done.

Trotter is a better MLB than Omar Gaither and/or Joe Mays.

True or not?
