2009 Phillies Offseason Thread

exactly.  why would anyone want to count the days until werth leaves?  dude's a damn good player.  a brown/vic/werth outfield is like the thought of shagging jessica biel - it's boner inducing and ain't never gonna happen. 

[rjs246]

I don't know, man. Biel seems pretty get-able. She reached her peak by bagging JT, it's all downhill from here. Give her a year or so and she'll be dying to catch a fleshpop in the ear.

I'd rather keep Werth than Howard.

[Rome]

That's actually not a stupid comment.  On the surface it looks retarded and laughable but it's really not.

[ice grillin you]

werth is going to be sickeningly overpaid and they have a HOF player behind him.....no brainer

[Munson]

werth Raul is going to be sickeningly overpaid and old. they have a HOF player behind him.....no brainer

[ice grillin you]

werth is a FA this year....ibanez not until 2011

[Munson]

Who cares. Werth needs to be here next year and 2011 too. Raul is old as shtein and his body started breaking down already last year.

[ice grillin you]

i guess you missed the whole cliff lee fiasco....they didnt keep a cy young pitcher for ONE year at 9 million...now they are going to go over budget for jayson werth at lets say five years @ 15 per

[Munson]

See now you're talking about why it won't happen, which I agree with.

But it would still be the better move to keep Werth and have a Werth/Vic/Brown outfield.

[ice grillin you]

its not an option idiot

just count the days until they plug a future HOF'er into their lineup

[Rome]

They only have about $65M tied up in 2012, so it's not entirely implausible that Werth gets a deal.

[ice grillin you]

well if someone like the yankees doesnt overbid for him on the open market and if btwn now and then HOF dominic brown flys a prop plane into a high rise then i suppose there is a little plausibility to it

[Munson]

its not an option idiot

just count the days until they plug a future HOF'er into their lineup

Who cares if it's not an option.

It's what should happen, and counting down the days til the younger, better outfielder of the current 3 leaves is stupid.

hof brown got rewarded for his efforts today with a trip back to the minors
