Hmmm... somehow I missed that earlier. Thanks.

I guess we'll just have to see how it shakes out.

Deal with it next year when the long-term picture is clearer. He'll get a respectable chunk of change from arbitration this season, and both sides will better see his long-term value to the team versus some of the other guys.

Plus, this might be the season they finally dump Pat "VORP" Burrell's contract.

Is there a link to a story that says Howard is looking for A-Rod type money? The only place I've seen this is IGY.

Per ESPN:

QuoteThe Philadelphia Phillies have agreed to a two-year deal with free agent third baseman Pedro Feliz, pending a physical.

Feliz batted .253 with 20 home runs and 72 RBIs last season with the San Francisco Giants.

Phils sign Pedro Feliz to a 2-yr deal

yay another mediocre third baseman!

The last 3rd basemen they got from the Giants worked out so well they just had to go back for seconds.

Don Ho · January 28, 2008, 04:31:08 PM

.280 on base %? holy shtein.

or thirds. Remember Charlie Hayes? ha

I'm OK with it. It means less Wes Helms, more power from the right side and better defense than Dobbs...

Bench:

Coste
Taguchi
Werth/Jenkins
Bruntlett
Feliz/Dobbs

Helms is gone I would assume. Either that or they keep one less pitcher, which is retarded considering the staff isn't all that good to begin with.

Nope.

Racist.

You remember Terry Mulholland, right? $:-\$

Yep. But no idea who the hell Charlie Hayes was.

Any relation to Von?
