2010/11 Phillies Offseason Thread

[BigEd76]

woman on WIP this morning called in and said "yeah this is great, but they could've had all of them this past season".  Rhea called her a bitch, and Hugh called her that stuck-up wife that gets diamond earrings for Xmas and complains about not getting the necklace, then when she gets the necklace the following Xmas she whines about not getting both last Xmas.  I expect igs to be negative about this ish, but man...

[ice grillin you]

shes 100% right

the saving grace i suppose tho is that even had they kept lee as they should have last season they still werent beating the giants...so in the end you cant really be angry

[SunMo]

ummm, now they have tyson gilles AND cliff lee

MASTER STROKE

[ice grillin you]

I'd be doing backflips right now if they had gotten decent prospects for him in the first place.

welp BA says Aumont still has the best curveball in the Phils farm system so there's that

From the chat with Marcus Hayes:

If they trade Ibanez away to free up payroll, will that open up an opportunity for Oswalt to play left field on his off days?

ha, people are farny

Some crazy numbers to consider:

The top 4 starters can easily go 900 innings. Throw in another 200 for Blanton and you get 1100. A typical season is approximately 1380 innings. That leaves 280 innings. If the closer saves 40, that leaves 240. Another 50 for the set up guy leave 190 innings divided by 4 guys. That is a significant reduction in work for guys like Durbin and Contreras.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Especially Durbin.  Very significant reduction in work for him.

[ice grillin you]

theres not even a remote chance those four throw 900 innings...durbin might not even be on the team and blanton definitely wont be

so i would say yes those are some crazy numbers

[SD]

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

durbin might not even be on the team

That was kind of my point.
