2009 Phillies Offseason Thread

[Rome]

If it guaranteed another WFC in 2010 I wouldn't care one bit if the Phillies gave up the farm to get Halladay.

If it guaranteed another WFC in 2010 I wouldn't care one bit if the Phillies gave up the farm to get Halladay.

i wouldn't either, but there are no absolute guarantees. 

basically, if the phils get him as a 1 yr rental, then they better win it all in 2010.  if they sign him to a contract then they need to win at least 1 or 2 during that time. 

seeing them win 1 is seriously good enough for me for probably the next 20 years.  especially since they were able to get back again last year.  this team is legit and relevant and even without halladay, will remain so for the next several years so as a long suffering fan, that makes me happy. 

but at the same time, if they have a chance to get the best pitcher in baseball in exchange for a prospect who hasn't done anything at the ml level yet, then i'm all for it.  brown may or may not be the real deal when he makes it to the bigs.  he might suffer a career ending injury in his rookie year.  he might get adenharted.  he might be the best black phillie since ricky jordan.  who knows?

lol, what? Based on what?

They won it in 2008
They were a legitimate starter (without a vadge) away from winning it in 2009
Not much has changed other than they'd get a starter for 2010.

Tell us again your "logic" behind your rantings?

[ice grillin you]

Based on what?

karma and the sports gods

and im saying they have no chance if they GET halladay...if they dont get them they actually have a better chance to win the world series...that seems to go against everything you were taught to believe in sports but trust me its the way it works

[Sgt PSN]

is that how it worked for the d-backs when they aquired randy johnson and curt schilling. or when the yankees picked up roger clemems?  what about when the marlins went out and bought 2 championships? 

your reasons for not wanting this are stupid and supersticious.  just put a rabbits foot in your pocket, hang a horseshoe over your door and say 20 hail mary's and that should pretty much even things out.

or off yourself so we dont have to listen to you bitch and moan about getting the best pitcher in baseball

[Sgt PSN]

with a silver bullet? 

[mpmcgraw]

Its funny because the Yankees won the World Series this year because they bought three players for what, 275 million combined? 

The Phils wouldn't even be buying him theyd be giving up talent to get talent.

[MDS]

dont try to bring logic into this conversation

[mpmcgraw]

I just saw this and thought it would fit well here

Baseball is funny. Use stats that require 3rd grade math and you're "smart." Use better stats that require 6th grade math and you're "dumb."- Keith Law
