2009 Phillies Offseason Thread

Nice. Feliz was a good dude, but he's done. Via con dios, senor

Tu hablas espanol?  Cuantos anos estudias tu?

Get Figgins.

[QB Eagles]

I dont think its possible to get worse, even if you go cheaper..

Considering the number of free agent 3rd basemen in their mid-to-late 30s who are coming off injuries, getting better is not automatic. We'll see what Amaro does with it.

[Don Ho]

Amaro better not farg this one up.  Other than Figgens who else is out there?

[BigEd76]

Adrian Beltre
Mark DeRosa
Troy Glaus
Miguel Tejada (if you move him from SS)

[mpmcgraw]

Dan Uggla, apparently.

[Sgt PSN]

Perfect cover for Madoff's associates (i.e. the Mets) to dump some paperwork.

Beltre is a roid head...no thanks.

Figgins all the way.

[Seabiscuit36]

Yea it wasn't an endorsement. More of a realistic hope. Figgins isn't coming here. Considering the money they'll have to spend it's not even really feasible.

[mpmcgraw]

Beltre is better defensively than Feliz and much better offensively and is 6 (?) years younger.

Seems like a slam dunk to me.  He could put up an .850 ish OPS if Safeco really did kill him, but I don't think a .800 OPS out of him with excellent defense is unrealistic.

Seriously though this guy is ridiculous with the glove.

Dan Uggla, apparently.

Hated him.  But I'll take him.  Guy plays angry
