07/08 Phillies Offseason Thread

[SunMo]

Buster Olney was just on 950am (reported on PhilaPhans) and said the Phillies have offered Lowell 4 years for 48-50 million

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

...which means he can and will take 3 years for 40 million from Boston.

That's a reasonable deal and if they get him for that much I'd consider it a very good signing.

Four teams top Boston offer for Lowell

A Boston television station and the Boston Globe are reporting that four teams, the Atlanta Braves, Anaheim Angels, St. Louis Cardinals, and New York Yankees, have each offered Boston Red Sox free agent third baseman Mike Lowell a four-year contract worth between $55 million and $60 million, exceeding the Sox' three-year proposal.

St. Louis?!?

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

St. Louis?!?

Why would they do that when Scott Rolen is the best third baseman ever?!?  WINGSPAN?!?!!

[Wingspan]

Reading comprehension is a lost art, eh?

I said originally "when healthy, Rolen is the best 3B in the NL."

Two things:

1) He's never healthy.

2) Lowell is a better all around 3B than Rolen, without question.

Either was, Lowell is not winding up in STL...no way they sign Lowell without knowing that Rolen has an out. He;s not going to be on the yankee's radar either (realistically), unless he wants to play 1B. (If A-rod goes back to the yanks as reported.

The phils signing Lowell would make up for the Lidge trade.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

No.

[BigEd76]

Atlanta?


FYI, Lidge has a press conference in about 45 mins on CSN

Also the Reading Phillies changed their logo to the cool new "R-Phils"  and one of their alternate uniforms is the powder blue from the 70s and 80s

[rjs246]

R-Phils? Jesus, even minor league athletes need to be shot in the head.
