not to the 17 faithful readers of The Sporting News

I'm sure they were all waiting on pins and needles to see who their elitist magazine chose as the best player of the year. On farging pins and needless.

actually the sporting news player of the year is quite prestigious...its the oldest player of the year award in the land

is it better than a world series ring...no...but i think you knew that

MDS · October 10, 2006, 08:10:30 PM

it still means nothing. he might as well be the ice grillin you concretefield most appreciated baseball man of the year. mvp and the hardware or bust, son. mvp or bust.

ice grillin you · October 10, 2006, 09:43:56 PM

you mean tha actually mvp award is > the sporting news player of the year....good call

MDS · October 10, 2006, 10:07:33 PM

no i mean nobody ever remembers who wins the sporting news player of the year, people remember mvps.

SunMo · October 10, 2006, 10:33:14 PM

i can't wait until the Phillies sign Soriano

PhillyPhreak54 · October 10, 2006, 10:40:57 PM

It'd be nice.

But Olney says that he's looking to get and will likely get $80M+.

Thats crazy- no way the Phils pay that.

Geowhizzer · October 10, 2006, 10:42:25 PM

He said that there will be several contracts of about that level. Zito just lost a mil or two with tonight's performance.

So, when's the next "work stoppage?"

it's already a done deal, Eckel said so.

Apparantly, he IS at the Carpenter Complex right now.

Whiz,

Did you hear him say that Carlos Lee is seeking that much too? Carlos Lee is a bum. The only thing I like about Cory Lidle anymore is when Lee hit a shot off of him Mr. Mint Chocolate Chip started talking shtein to him because he was showboating.

Geowhizzer · October 10, 2006, 11:21:21 PM

Yeah, Lee was one of the names mentioned by Olney.

Sounds like the fat wallets are out again. I don't see the Phils getting any of the top-tier FAs. They won't part with the money for Soriano or Zito, and Lee just isn't worth it, in my opinion.
