The bid on Iwamura was $4.5M

I don't even wanna look on the EMB in the Phillies thread.

They're probably suicidal over Iwamura.

:-D

The pitching was good down the stretch last year. They are bringing back the same guys.
Soriano will make the lineup amazing.
The bullpen needs 1 strong guy and another solid middle reliver

Positive Woohoo
Zero hour, Michael. It's the end of the line. I'm the firstborn. I'm sick of playing second fiddle. I'm always third in line for everything. I'm tired of finishing fourth. Being the fifth wheel. There are six things I'm mad about, and I'm taking over.

so it will be the 2nd best offense in the league instead of the 3rd best...it will also lead the history of the world in strikeouts...really how many runs do you actually want...what they need is more 3-2 and 4-3 wins and less 14-4 11-5 ones
i can take a phrase thats rarely heard...flip it....now its a daily word

nice piece sea...tho i think they drastically overrate the organizations pitching...partly because for some reason they count hamels as a prospect

what can do they do to the pitching. 4/5ths of the rotation is set. who do you want. do you want them to just not spend the money? the team is predicated on hamels and myers ability to be aces. if they do it, things will be good. if not, then its another 86 win season.

so get the 1/5 missing and make it count. and not fill in with some shtein head like gavin floyd.

I like what i've read about Gonzales.  Drabeck seems like if his extra curricular stuff is held in check he's got great stuff.  Segovia looks like Ponson body wise but has good stuff from the #'s i've read.

they seem to be planning to do that with wolf or adam eaton. neither are superb, but are certainly fine guys to fill out the bottom of the rotation. again, things are 100x better if hamels and myers are top of the line guys.

The only pitching is going to come through a trade, so they aren't going to 'spend money' on any FA pitchers.

I'd love to jump dump Burrell for some relief pitching. Baseball players have it golden. All guaranteed money and they can force teams to only trade them to teams that they approve. How do GM's lose so much bargaining power?

Oh, yeah... Ed Wade.

i expect hamels to have a good year. something like a 16-9 kind of season.

he has the stuff to be an ace in 2008...as long as he stays healthy.

hamels has the stuff, and the mentality to be an ace. while myers has the stuff sometimes, is a mental midget, and a situational Hoyda and will never be better than a #2 on a bad team, or #3 on a good team.

You guys are really going to hate Soriano in a few years.  Much worse than Burrell, even.
