Phillies Offseason Thread 12-13

[Geowhizzer]

So 81-81 is a pipe dream.

Anywhere from about 77-85 wins is the range to me.  Enough to be "respectable," but not enough to sniff the postseason.

I wasn't sure where to put this and didn't think it was worthy of starting a new thread, but thought it was an interesting read.

Done making moves... they started making moves?

They're saving up cash for next year. Probably wise not to spend 170+ mil when they'll prob lose a little in revenue this year.

Aren't they up for a new TV contract in 2014?

Cole had a shoulder issue earlier this offseason

Supposedly nothing to worry about.  Time to worry

[ice grillin you]

does it really matter...even if he is hurt...theres no difference in 3rd 4th or 5th place

[PhillyPhreak54]

Smuggy Bear lied. He wasn't done.

Rodrigo Lopez signed to minor league deal.

Yes!

[MDS]

[MDS]

[Don Ho]

Oh yes, we're all very aware.  If we don't talk about it maybe it'll all go away.

[Rome]

If we don't talk about it maybe it'll all go away.
