Phillies Offseason Thread 12-13

the homers who loved juan pierre "putting his bat on the ball" and other goofy slappy shtein are gonna eat up revere.

they needed to get younger and faster. revere aside they added a geriatric third baseman who hit 8 homers last year and cody fargng ross.

actually revere is something new and fresh....it will be fun to follow him....but cody ross and young = about as painful as it gets

LOVE this guy

Adams was in high-demand this offseason – six teams were interested and three were serious, according to agent Josh Yates – and he had offers on the table for more guaranteed years and money. One of those offers was from an NL East team, believed to be the Nationals. He even had opportunities to close.

But the Phillies were high on Adams' list from the day the Rangers' season ended because of the 34-year-old's desire to win, proving that even after a disappointing .500 finish, players still do see Philadelphia as a destination.

"There was an NL East team that was really in on it," Adams admitted. "It was a tough choice between the two, but from what I've heard from other players that have been in this organization, what they think about it, where I think it's headed, that played a huge part into my decision.

"I had more guaranteed money elsewhere, but I don't think just because it's a vesting option ... I'm counting that as guaranteed money. I plan on fulfilling my contract for three years and hopefully beyond that. If all goes the way I see it, by the end of my contract this is going to be a bargain."

If they won half the games they blew in the 8th inning last year, they would have been in the playoffs

Where's Scrooge McOrodenker to rain all over this Adams love fest?

[MDS]

as i said before i dig adams and think hell be good to great. but they arent vaulting from a has-been old and slow pos team to world series contenders because of mike adams

[SunMo]

igy likes his quotes, so that means todd does.  duh

[MDS]

[Geowhizzer]

I'd rather see what Von Brown and/or Darin Ruf can do over the course of a season.
