Phillies Off-Season Thread

Thanks Romey, you're a big help.

starks said the dodgersnmoved their aaa team from albuquerque because the stadium made Coors field look like a pitchers dream.

[MDS]

So who will be first-pitch-swinging and popping out to shallow left field now?

his name is freddy galvis

sstarks said its zack lee.

Stellar AAA season he had.

Bum.

LA's #4 prospect entering the season, 22 years old in AAA, potential #2/#3 like Nola. Still haven't seen confirmation that he's the guy though

only thing i can say for him is the PCL is a disaster of pitchers. new team, new year, new spot, new hope. about as a high a ceiling guy as youre gonna get for an aging shortstop.

Rollins is cooked as a prime time performer.  He has been for several years now.  He's still a serviceable Major League shortstop from an offensive standpoint and better than average in the field.  He's going to fit in just fine with the Dodgers, Chuggie.  He's not the answer to anyone's prayers, though.  He is what he is - a guy coming to the end of his career.

in reality if you wanted jimmy to stay a phillie you must have hated him. this team is torture.

he had the 3rd best WAR among SS in the NL last year....he's still very good. likely will need 1-2 DL stints because, you know, hes 35 or whatever, but he had a really strong year in 2014. and his defense barely lost a step.

id say los doyer are getting a pretty good 1 year rental, since he's just a stop gap until corey seager is ready. wonder what gang jimmy will join. how else will he fit in with the fans?

Ok, cool, kind of what I thought. Maybe during his time here, the Dodgers farm system can produce some good prospects to replace him.

That guy always did bad things to us in the playoffs...so...maybe, if the Fraudgers have anything left in them...he can help us out.

Damn. You know it has to happen but still sucks to see an all timer go.

[smeags]

Damn. You know it has to happen but still sucks to see an all timer go.

it does. im watching CSN and its sinking in. still happy for him though.

What's worse is he went to an NL team. At least it ain't the Mets or Cardinals but still

[Rome]

If they're willing to trade the heart and soul of this team they've finally come to the realization that the 2008 era is over.

Am I "happy" he's gone?  farg no.  I love the guy but I'm happy this team has come to grips with reality.  I'd be happier if Amaro was busy walking on the face of Venus, though.

Holy shtein get a hold of yourself.

[smeags]

I will be at that first dodgers game here.

I hear somebody boo when he comes to the plate the first time I may commit assult.

[MDS]

nobody is going to boo, drama queen
