06/07 Phillies Offseason Thread

[Wingspan]

They've had that 6 pack for a few years now. but since they cant withhold red sox or yankee tickets on it, they plaster Mr ThreeHundredThousand all over everything.

[SunMo]

is Howard contractually obligated to hit a home run in each of my six games?

[mpmcgraw]

And now Nixon is off the market.

For 3 million.

Seriously, boo. 

[MDS]

what is his vorp?

[BigEd76]

-- Bombard update:  he's now the manager for the White Sox AAA team in Charlotte

-- Madson says he's given up on starting for now and he'd rather be a reliever on a contender than a starter on a bad team.  hmm

Wah.

He sucks.

[mpmcgraw]

But he sucks less than Rowand and for less money. 

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

It goes without saying that Nixon's VORP is bigger.

[Geowhizzer]

But he sucks less than Rowand and for less money. 

He only sucks less because he hasn't played in 130+ games since 2003.  He's become JD Drew lite.

[ice grillin you]

does games played affect your VORP?

[mpmcgraw]

I dont know, probably.

rowand actually had a higher VORP because he plays centerfield, but if you are considering that Nixon would essentially be replacing Rowand in right, Nixon probably has the higher VORP.

According to ESPN Radio: Chase Utley extended for 7 years $85 Million.

Edit: Its official. http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=2738188

[MDS]

Who cares. What is his vorp?

That Heckert article made me want to strangle small children.  This does a little to lessen my rage.
