There was so much fake enthusiasm in that video, especially when he first walked into the clubhouse.

[Dillen]

JP Crawford got promoted to A+. Roman Quinn is getting moved to CF for him, because he's much less important

[MDS]

quinn is going to be a zesty ben revere clone, best case scenario

@AceballStats: One team players with 400+ 2B, 100+ 3B, & 200+ HR in career:

Lou Gehrig

George Brett
Jimmy Rollins

@AceballStats: Jimmy Rollins, Paul Molitor, & Johnny Damon are the only players in #MLB history with 400+ 2B, 100+ 3B, 200+ HR, & 400+ SB.

Jimmy is HOF worthy, but his career has been largely plagued by playing on bad teams, with a 5yr run of success on what could be considered an under achieving team from 2010-12. If he's the SS for the Sawx or Yanks for his career and puts up those numbers, he might even go 1st ballot. But as it is now, he likely won't even get in. 

Point is,  for anyone from this wretched franchise to get in the hall,  they have to be truly elite like Schmidt or Carlton and Jimmy definitely isn't on that level.

[MDS]

well at least theyre not going to be no hit today

progress

2000 doesn't count because he only played 14 games...other than that he's only played on two sub .500 teams...one being last year and the others being 2002 when they were 80-81. That's hardly being on bad teams especially since he was a key component during a great 5 year run.

Yeah and plus even if you considered the Phillies bad (like Havas and Todd) isn't it even more impressive to put up mega-numbers on a "bad" squad?

If the Phillies were a juggernaut then people would say "oh he just benefitted from all that talent around him".

[MDS]

who thinks the phillies are good?

[Rome]

not even the phanatic.

Just wanted to point this out and let it sink in for a while. Mega-numbers. Mega.

[PhillyPhreak54]

2007 qualifies as mega numbers.

Kinda like more than 40 people in the stands for a lacrosse game would be mega numbers.

i dont even know what to say to this...I knew people hated gawd but not sarge

[SunMo]

who's had a better career:  Chase Utley or Jimmy Rollins
