phils signed nunez today

Is he the guy that can play 3rd and hit right-handed pitching?

[ice grillin you]

that would be him

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

that would be him

Cool.  Just found this link.

Small signing, but I think it really improves the lineup.

[ice grillin you]

if it means even one less at bat for bell then yes it is an improvement

Nunez = Placido Polanco at about 1/2 the price.

Nice signing.  Definitely gives the Phils insurance for when Bell inevitably breaks down again.

In other news, Wagner was offered no less than $31 million over 3 years to stay here (higher than his initial demands).  Not that I blame him, but he really can't argue that he left for any reason other than money.  If Wade had given him the 3/$30 offer months ago, the Phillies wouldn't have a big question mark at closer.

it is a good signing but....

polanco>>>>>>>nunez


nunez is much closer to martinez than he is polanco

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Nunez has the rep as a clutch player... a guy whose stats aren't as good as his skills.  Let's hope it stays that way.

[Rome]

I think Polanco is a borderline starter in the major leagues who the Tigers grossly overpaid.  IMO, Nunez is roughly equivalent in terms of talent and production to Polanco.

If you look at their combined stats, they're roughly the same in most regards.

Whatever, though.  Good signing none the less.

not if you listen to all the baseball geniuses over at PhilliesPhans.  those guys make TATErs look like Stephen Hawking, sans wheelchair and voice thing.

Pfft... I can't remember the last time I visited that forum.  I think it was when the Phillies hired Gillick.  I went in there and carpet-bombed the place.

I think I was banned, actually.

i dont really understand how you could get excitable about this either way...its a solid signing....there isnt one bad thing you can say about it nor is there anything overly positive about it either

i was on my way to being banned yesterday but I stopped just short.  but everyone there is really pompus and arrogant, it's kinda sad.

IGY, i'm with you.  but the Abner Doubleday Jr's over there would disagree

[ice grillin you]

"I'm willing to call out Gillick and this was a positively Wade-ish move"

lololol

think ill stay away from that place
