Phillies Offseason Thread 12-13

[ice grillin you]

Three weeks before the start of spring training, Phillies general manager Ruben Amaro Jr. continues to look to add a corner outfielder to his team.

"I think we can [get one before spring training]', Amaro said. "We hope to do it."

Sources tell CSNPhilly.com that the Phils are seriously considering signing free-agent Delmon Young.

Amaro, who typically keeps matters of free-agency close to his vest, did not deny that.

"We've kicked around a lot of stuff," he said. "He's among them."

Asked if he'd spoken with Young's representatives, Amaro said: "We've talked to everybody, everybody who is still out there, the whole gamut."

When I hear Smugly say "kicked around" or "kicked the tires on" it infuriates me.

Delmon

He hates poor Jews too.  Sorry Todd

[Sgt PSN]

He's automatically Todd's new favorite player, right?

[MDS]

i love it and i love him

crazy unstable anti semitic black man with talent on the cheap....rube is king

[BigEd76]

and supposedly he lost a lot of weight and got his ankle fixed

Plus he won the ALCS MVP against a Yankees team that couldn't outscore the 2002 Flyers, so there's that

[MDS]

easy bringing the roman checkmanek humor

thats why he gets the big bucks folks

[Sgt PSN]

Didn't even notice that Easy beat me to the punch with the Jew hate.

The Phillies have 9 outfielders on the 40-man roster. The highest-paid is Laynce Nix.

Pitchers and catchers baby....can't wait

[ice grillin you]

the three guys the phillies added this offseason had a total of 82 walks in almost 2000 pa's

they should fit perfectly into this offense

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Delmon Young is easily the most exciting new addition, and it's not even close.

[Don Ho]

When I hear Smugly say "kicked around" or "kicked the tires on" it infuriates me.

I'd like to kick him in his nuts.

[PhillyPhreak54]

Me too...but I like this signing so he gets a reprieve for now

[Geowhizzer]

Considering the alternatives include overpaying Soriano and/or Bourn, I suppose this is better than those.

Goes without saying, though, that Amaro has little or no faith in one of (if not both) Von Brown or Darin Ruf developing into major league regulars.
