So the last thing on the Phillies offseason is a trade of Lieber for some bullpen help?

I think Gillick is waiting til Zito signs somewhere before making a deal. Teams in need of starting pitching will be desperate and Lieber's trade value will never be higher.

Sounds like a good plan.  A starting innings eating pitcher at a reasonable salary should command good bullpen relief or blue chip prospects.

They take themselves way too serious over at Philliesphans:

If you have tried to access the forums in the last few days, you discovered that they are not available. The site is still up, but for now the forums will be available to the mods and admins only as we discuss the future of the site and whether it will continue to exist, and if so, in what form.   Nothing has been decided at this point. If we decide to continue, you will be notified. However, if we continue, it will be by a strict invitation system only, and everyone will have to reapply for admittance. Of course, good and valued posters will be given admittance. But the mods and admins will have final say on who and who is not admitted, the Off Topic board will be eliminated, and there will be very strict prohibitions on bickering and whining that most users have told me they don't like anyway. The most recent dustup included a good deal of false claims as those involved and their defenders sought to justify their actions. None of that will be allowed if the forums are brought back up.   More information will be forthcoming as the mods and admins discuss this issue and make our final decision.  I have seen a lot of speculation, most of it false. Take anything you hear, especially from the disaffected, with a grain of salt until you hear from me directly.
