Grossman says ARD is not unusual in police-assault cases.

interesting.  because I have a hard time believing the average Joe gets probration for assualting a police officer. 

[PhillyPhreak54]

Yay!

Braden Looper signed with Heaven for 3 years $13.5M.

Now we don't have to see that loser come here.

[MDS]

Nice. Have fun with him.

[Rome]

I didn't know heaven was located in St. Louis.




I can't believe they blew that much dough on that loser.  Unreal.

Looper wasn't horrible, and you can be happy he isn't here, but who's going to setup games with Madson in the rotation?

[Rome]

Mo... Looper sucked, plain and simple.  Just because there isn't a set-up man in place now doesn't mean Gillick won't get it done before Spring Training starts.

Have patience, my young apprentice...

[ice grillin you]

looper is a fine set up man...he just isnt a closer...i would have taken him in a heartbeat

he didn't suck for a setup role, i think you trash him a little too much.  but hey, it's a moot point now.

I saw enough of him last year to know he blew. I realize he was alright for FLA, but he was a steaming pile of garbage last year.

[PhillyPhreak54]

Jose Contreras and Jon Garland will be shopped by the White Sox to various teams, including the Phillies. The Sox will want pitching prospects in any deal, and may ask the Phils for one or both of the prospects they dealt to the Phillies in the Jim Thome trade.

Found this on PhilaPhans...

I would take Garland for sure and I would even take Contreras but Garland would be choice #1. Plus his wife is hot.

Ding!

so he was good for Florida (as a setup man) and garbage for the Mets (as a closer)

why wouldn't he have been a good setup man again?
