Phillies Offseason Talk

I don't hate Abreu.  He's a serviceable player.

That said, awarding him a gold glove is utterly preposterous.

I agree completely.

P.S.  Gillick blows goats.

See that makes no sense.

He OBVIOUSLY doesn't blow goats. The one reason people are upset is because he's only a short term guy....to be replaced by another yes man like Amaro Jr or Arbuckle. But to say he blow goats is completely moronic. The guy DOES have a great resume. ignoring that fact is ridiculous. If he were 10 years younger, he'd be a great choice.

i agree.  but right now everybody is pretty pissed off because the Phillies made another "phillies-type" move.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

He blows goats because of all the surrounding information and because it's obvious that Monty wanted to hire someone that wouldn't "shake things up" too much before he gets to hand the reins to little Wade.

This team will suck next year.  I'm talking uncompetitive, not just barely missing playoffs again.

abreu won a gold glove? and rollins didnt? abreu should give his to rollins. thats a joke. the guy is a mediocre defensive outfielder, but a spectacular hitter. jimmy appears to have been shafted for the the 3rd year in a row.

[PhillyPhreak54]

Jimmy better get his. Cesar Izturis robbed him last year.

On the other hand...when will David Bell get his silvers slugger award? He's long overdue on that.

[PhillyPhreak54]

Speaking of David Bell...

Didn't Gillick ship his ass outta Seattle?

Maybe there is some hope here too!!

LOL...which is exactly what I said.

And FF, Randy Miller is the guy who said that. Randy Miller is FURIOUS about Hunsicker not coming here because the 2 of them are good friends.

Phreak....I like the idea of Bell going bye bye.

"I ain't talking," said Hunsicker, a Philadelphia native who badly wanted the job. "What can I say? It wasn't meant to be."

"It was very quick," Arbuckle said. "David said he wanted to give an update on what's happening. He said, 'I think you're qualified, but we're doing something else.' He used the line 'We're going with experience.' "

As for Manuel, his job is safe at least for another year.

"I used to run into Pat all the time, and I feel like I know him," Manuel said. "Hopefully, I'll get to know him better. He's a winner."

[PhillyGirl]

Randy Miller = GOOD FRIENDS WITH HUNSICKER

[SunMo]

Randy Miller = GOOD FRIENDS WITH HUNSICKER

agreed, but that really doesn't have anything to do with those quotes, they seem pretty straightforward to me.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Gillick's old and past his time.  There is no way he will be as aggressive as this team needs right now.

[PhillyGirl]

Gillick's old and past his time. 

Based on what? I'm sure you've been following his career yearly. 

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

His last WS title was...
