I promise to never register for that site unless they make it so you can't read without being registered.

Zito's not an ace.  Schmidt > Zito.

Zito isn't an ace?  So, he didn't win the Cy Young award in 2002??

I must be thinking of another Barry.  Barry White, perhaps?  Nope.  He's dead.  Rick Barry?  Nope.  Basketball player.   Barry Melrose?   Nah... hockey farg.

Yep... it's Barry Zito I'm thinking of.

same name as here, i try to laugh, but sometimes the arrogance chokes me through my computer and i must respond.

BTW: Schmidt will be 33 when the season starts.  Zito will be 28.

[MDS]

btw: schmidt blew last year and the rumor is made up

[PhillyPhreak54]

No Bengie Molina?

I didn't want Barry Zito last year and I don't really want him this year either. Even though he rebounded from a horrific start last year to pitch very well something about him I don't like. I think he wouldn't do well in an east coast environment.

Santana? Meh. Depth.

Schimdt? I like him, but he has to show he's healthy.

Even though I like Billy Wags, I also like that Gillick threw some darts back at him. Ed Wade wouldn't say anything at all.

[Geowhizzer]

I believe that Philly would literally eat Zito alive.  I just don't believe that he would have the mental toughness to succeed in Philadelphia.

so steve bedrosian was an ace?

i like the move keeping loserthal. the phillies just arent the phillies without the worst defensive/game calling catcher in the mlb 

[hunt]

the sils spent $$$ and brought in thome & wags to fill the new ballpark.  now that it's no longer new, they're back to business as usual.

You mean like DiscoStu and tools like that? (Saw you and him going back and forth earlier  ) Loved the baseball talk but couldn't stand the superciliousness of some of their posters. Now I'm just a reader

About the Wagner $$$ comment that he made today, I agree with him. Anyone would take all that guarenteed money. And I'm glad he brought that up, because I don't think he can hide behind "I just want to win" mantra. All he has to admit is that he left for more cash. More power to him. I just had when athletes leave and act all noble for leaving - like winning is the only thought in their mind.

Santana is an OK pickup. Anyone would can get Cormier off this team is fine with me.

I wouldn't trade Abreu for Schmidt. Bobby is any everyday player who can still put up great numbers. Schmidt contributes one every five days and is probably on the tail end of his career. Unless the Phils can get a stud starter and maybe some bullpen help I'd stay put.
