2009 Phillies Offseason Thread

yeah and?

[Eaglez]

DeRosa is looking more like a possibility.  Sucks that a team that goes to two straight World Series and wins one still doesn't feel confident enough in their finances to make an "upgrade" at the position.  I think DeRosa is a fine player and he can play 3B and both outfield corners, but is he any better than Feliz is at this point in both players' careers? 

[ice grillin you]

hes def worse than feliz...feliz is a legit starting ML 3rd baseman

derosa is a great utility player

I'll bet anyone here 10 thousand dollars that the Phillies will sign someone to play third.  Probably a baseball player too.

[Don Ho]

a lot of hawaiians and polynesians are of asian descent, dook.

and white descent too

[Don Ho]

doesnt even look like the same person....she definitely tried to look like a native at the wedding cause she looks so asian

just like daddy likes it, asian persuasion.

it actually is a different person.  there are two Melisa Smiths.  Vic's wife is more polynesian looking.

Phillies offseason article

General Manager Ruben Amaro could make a flurry of one-year signings, designed to win in 2010, or he could make one or two big moves designed to start a new core group, which would eventually include Domonic (*NFP: DOMONIC IS SPELLED RIGHT, HE'S JUST AN IDIOT*) Brown, Michael Taylor and Kyle Drabek, who are all tearing up the minors.

Wow.

Did they have to outbid the Mets to get him?

[BigEd76]

less than $1M, so it's basically like signing Cairo and inviting him to camp

[Don Ho]

I'm gonna miss Chewbacca.

Moyer was hospitalized due to recurring symptoms from the groin surgery he had 2 months ago

and the Phils signed DeWayne Wise, the CF that saved Mark Buehrle's perfect game back in July
