Phillies Offseason Talk

[PhillyPhreak54]

He was crying because Ed Wade was trying to fondle him.

[MDS]

dont try to cover up for jim thome being a giant classy, likeable vagina. thats what he is.

[Rome]

I told you Fagner was a fleshpophead.

4 years/$43Million... ahahahaha!

Absolutely ridiculous.  Good riddance, asswipe. 

[BigEd76]

Thome likes Konerko


Thome will be ready for spring training


Thome likes playing in Chicago

[PhillyPhreak54]

Why's he the d-head? He just took the keys to the Mets vault.

Minaya should be the guy who you're laughing at, Romey Rome.

[MDS]

wagner sucks. thome sucks. booooooooo.

[Rome]

He's a farging loser, bro.  And at $43M for four years, he's a gallactically overpaid loser at that.

The Mets just got farged up the ass by signing that puke.  Other than the Yankees, I can't think of a better team for him to end up with.  Their fans are big mouth iceholes and he'll fit right in with the lot of them.

Seriously, this is a good thing for the Phillies.  Now they can concentrate on improving the rest of the team instead of just one position.

Kyle Farnsworth
Tom Gordon
Bob "half a finger" Wickman
Trevor Hoffman
Danys Baez

Who do you guys want?

[MDS]

robinson tejeda. spend the money on catcher.

[PhillyPhreak54]

Hmmm...I like Tejeda and all but having a closer who cannot throw strikes with regularity isn't a good thing.

If they trade Abreu they'll have a wad o' cash to use on a catcher, 3B and bench help.

Abreu money gone
Thome money gone (some of it)
Wags money gone

[Geowhizzer]

I'd still go Farnsworth.

[MDS]

not much can be done at third. bell is untradeable, and there is nobody that good out there that i want starting against lhp over bell (ha, not a joke.)

with catcher, i think they seriously need to get hernandez or molina. with lieberthal, they could then trade him and pick up about 95% of his contract. even freeing up 1 mil is better than not at all. get loserthal out of here.

this could also free up a little more money for starting pitching. matt morris, aj burnett....maybe.

the bullpen, i would be fine with gordon, madson, tejeda, brito, fultz....then, you add someone mid-year if you need to.

Thome's CSN Chicago appearance will be shown on CSN Philly in 30 mins...

[Rome]

The Phillies found someone to take Jim Thome and still get real value in return.

If they can accomplish that, then getting rid of a piece of flotsam like David Bell shouldn't be a herculean task.

At the very least, get a kid in here that Bell can help groom for 2007.  If he's half the "team player" they say he is, he'll jump at the chance.  Trade Abreu for a starter and a legitimate 3rd base prospect and I'd be happier than Michael Irvin in Amsterdam.
