Phillies Offseason Thread 12-13

[ice grillin you]

but in reality no small or big move is going to change anything. the wheels came off a while ago and its all downhill from here.

true....which is why is said its not a big deal

If Young produces as 22/90/.275 it's a steal.

[Eagles_Legendz]

he's one of the worst defensive players in baseball, doesn't walk, and has lost his power. 

There's a chance he rebounds slightly offensively, but his defense is gone, and I'd guess his power is too. 

[MDS]

he hit 8 homers in an amazing lineup in the hottest most homer happy ballpark in the bigs

im sure hell rebound hitting behind a washed up strikeout machine

[Rome]

Just once we might get lucky and have shtein work out.

[MDS]

shtein working out was lolmonic brown turning out to be good or ryan howard not breaking down

all the evidence in the world suggests young sucks and will suck more this year. the phillies more or less know this and are basically taking a calculated risk that he will hit the rejuvenation machine and give them a solid year. if it doesnt work all they did was trade a worthless reliever and burn 6 mil. no biggie.
