2012 - Philadelphia Phillies, At Least Cole is Staying

[Don Ho]

Why in the farg is Contreras still on this team? 

[Don Ho]

3 for 21 with RISP the last two days.  At least they're consistent.

[PhillyPhreak54]

Yay team.

Bring on the Astros

Eskin saying Hamels has told the Phils they want a 7yr deal

[ice grillin you]

enjoy LA heidi and all the modeling opportunities it will provide

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

They'll settle on 6.

[Munson]

farg, give him 7 years. Or 6 with a vesting option. I don't care about the years, dude is young. As long as they can convince him to stay for 20 mil AAV.

[Sgt PSN]

They'll settle on 6.

That's what I'm thinking.  Jimmy had a semi-ridiculous "demand" too and they were able to work it out.  If Hamels has any real desire to stay, then I think they'll work it out. 

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Hamels has injury concerns but has managed to stay healthy and also generally improve as a pitcher more and more. He should definitely still be able to pitch well into his mid-30's.

Let's just say it wouldn't be the worst long-term deal Amaro brokered.

[ice grillin you]

a six year deal would be iffy...a seven year deal would be assinine

and any deal without moving halladay or lee first would not be prudent and probably wont happen anyway

[Munson]

I still don't know what all these injury concerns are...at least any more than any other pitcher.

[Geowhizzer]

They'll settle on 6.

That's what I'm thinking.  Jimmy had a semi-ridiculous "demand" too and they were able to work it out.  If Hamels has any real desire to stay, then I think they'll work it out.

Difference is that Rollins wasn't getting five years from anyone.  Hamels will more than likely get 7 in FA.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

This team has no future, and it's kind of depressing.

[Eagles_Legendz]

Joe Blanton has a 2.9 ERA and the Phillies are under .500. 

pretty sure with Hamels/Lee/Halladay/Worley (who has been pretty good too) if you said Blanton would be this good, even with how bad the offense is, I would have guessed they'd be doing pretty well right now.

i am so glad there is a sixers game on because this game is hideous
