07/08 Phillies Offseason Thread

[SunMo]

bye bye Aaron

it sounds like the Phillies are going to sign Randy Wolf, probably friday

[MDS]

Hunter's contract is a joke. Wow.

Wolf? How much are they going to pay for a guy to hang out on the DL?

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Probably at least $8 mill a year

[Wingspan]

If the phils brought him back, that probably means he is recovering from a tracheotomy.

[Geowhizzer]

Does this mean less of Hairpiece?

[SunMo]

never

[ice grillin you]

the press release does refer to him as a color commentator...that should cut his word totals down a little bit...and hopefully he does more radio this year

[Rome]

Hopefully he ingests rat poison this year.  Lots of it.

Phils claim pitcher off waivers
By SCOTT LAUBER, The News Journal

PHILADELPHIA -- In their continued search for pitching, the Phillies turned to the waiver wire today and claimed left-hander Shane Youman from the Pittsburgh Pirates.

Youman, 28, went 3-5 with a 5.97 ERA in 16 games (eight starts) last season for the Pirates and was roughed up for 10 earned runs in six innings (15.00 ERA) over two appearances against the Phillies.

But he was more effective out of the bullpen for Pittsburgh, going 1-0 with a 3.54 ERA in 10 career relief appearances, and he's had success in the minors (26-17, 3.37 ERA) since being selected in the 43rd round of the 2001 draft.

Youman was designated for assignment last week by the Pirates
