2010/11 Phillies Offseason Thread

[PhillyPhanInDC]

I cant wait to hear the PC when he tries to spin it as it was about winning.

something along the lines of..

"I've played against this team a lot and I can see they're on the way up and I'd like to be a part of it"

or

"i've always admired the Nationals and I think they're better than the record says and I think we can win'

Yeah right. Come on out and say "they farging paid me $126M...what would YOU do?"

i think the best and smartest way to endear yourself to new teammates and a new city is to say the only reason im with this god awful organization is the money

You live in the DC area, and like me, know better than this. It doesn't matter what the hell he says, nobody is listening. There is no Nat's "fanbase" to be insulted/give a shtein.

Stark reporting that the Phils are on Francoeur pretty heavy and that Charlie thinks he can fix him should they sign him.

Out of Diaz, Willingham, Rowand and Francoeur - I prefer the Frenchman because he's got a pretty good arm and good pop

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

But Diaz knows how to handle Philly fans.

Gillick elected to the HOF.  Steinbrenner denied. 

[Eagles_Legendz]

I think for what the Phillies need, Willingham would be the best fit of that group personally.

I also wouldn't mind Ordonez on a 1 year deal with a club option, incentive laden with a games played clause built in.

[Rome]

Marvin Miller shut out again.

Comedy.

#phillies are considering bringing back lee. Would be crazy rotation. But they won't outbid #yankees, the favorite.

oy

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Need a rotation like that to combat the Nats' offensive firepowerzz!!4

[rjs246]

Need a rotation like that to offest the coordinated offensive slumps that the team likes to go through.

And Raul Ibanez.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Ed Wade is looking for a lefty outfielder to platoon with Jason Michaels.  Get it done, Rube!

[Munson]

Please bring back Cliff. It's a foregone conclusion that this teams offense is going to blow next year, might as well go the SF route and have ridiculous pitching and hope the offense gets hot at the right time.

[Rome]

I will buy each one of you a red rose if the Phillies get Cliff Lee.

[SD]

I will buy each one of you a red rose if the Phillies get Cliff Lee.

You can send mine to igy

[PhillyPhreak54]

Phils also interested in Juan Rivera too...

For those keeping score at home, the platoon RH OF list is:

Matt Diaz
Josh Willingham
Jeff Francoeur
Juan Rivera
Aaron Rowand

Anyone catch the Gillick quote on his philosophy being 60% character and 40% skill? Did the sabermetric iceholes heads explode when they heard that?

[Don Ho]

I will buy each one of you a red rose if the Phillies get Cliff Lee.

I'd prefer a romantic dinner.  A luau would work.
