Phillies Offseason Thread 12-13

[ice grillin you]

I don't get the fascination with trading Lee...why?

this question sums up camden and burlington counties

[PhillyPhreak54]

lol

or it sums up that you win with pitching and he's a good pitcher so you don't drop him?

If Halladay is indeed on the way down....then you need Lee and Hamels to be the anchors.

cliff lee is so good he holds 4-0 leads

[ice grillin you]

you need to realize that they have ZERO chance of making the playoffs in at least the next four years...until you can reconcile that you should not talk phillies

[PhillyPhreak54]

I don't buy it.

[MDS]

we know

im just figuring out a way to profit from it

[ice grillin you]

I don't buy it.

i know

[PhillyPhreak54]

lololol

I think Jurrgens was worth the risk.  He was awful in 2012 but really quite excellent in 2011.  Weird game, I know...

What does Jair Jurrgens have to do with anything?

[Rome]

I meant he would have been worth a shot especially if the alternative is John Lannan.

Second to last line...



Ha!

word from arlington is mike olt is on the market. so i mean....

I'd trade Olt for Lee but it ain't happening. The Phillies have a good 3B prospect who should be ready in the next season or two: http://articles.philly.com/2012-11-08/sports/34995243_1_cody-asche-arizona-fall-league-phillies

The trend of RAJ trading prospects for veterans has ceased. I have no problem with them trying to spend money to win as long as they aren't gutting their farm system while doing it. Gutting the entire team does nothing except save salary.

I'm fine with adding Ross, he's not great but if they give him a short deal he fills a need...more importantly they get to keep the 16th pick in the draft.

[ice grillin you]

yeah it would be titantically stupid if they gave up that pick

and i agree they arent getting olt but if hes avaiable and they turn him down for ashee they are dumber than shtein....olt is a virtual lock to be at least a good major leaguer and he has star potential.....ashee is a coin flip at best

[ice grillin you]

the worst part of that lineup is how friggin boring it is....other than jimmy there is not one watchable aspect of this team...could have been HOF's development but that train done left the station
