Phillies Offseason Thread 12-13

[SD]

Valle is a good bet considering they signed a catcher too plus Kelly makes him expendable.

[MDS]

he is but youd have hoped they could get more for him than wilton lopez

so far ive only seen valle mentioned on random twitter posts from nobodys. but if it his him, alright, this lopez dude better be good. cause valle was their last legit trade chip.

[Don Ho]

Per Buster, Upton close to signing with Braves.  WTF? 

[Geowhizzer]

Honestly, they're closer to winning than the Phils.  They're younger and have some good young arms.

[PhillyPhreak54]

Yep - he's a Brave

5/75

[QB Eagles]

shtein there goes the world series

I saw some chatter that Hamilton is the real target.

Injury prone addict....hmmmm

[Geowhizzer]

Not to mention yet another lefty bat.

[MDS]

hamilton would rival choke for worst contract on the team

hes such an easy target too...streaky, quiet player with a terrible past. if he doesnt start off hitting .400 hes never gonna survive. hey anyone want to buy a house in kenzo with me? i know what we can sell.

I'd love Hamilton at a 2 year deal...anything longer than that and no thanks

[ice grillin you]

I'd love Hamilton at a 2 year deal

ha...id love him at a one year deal with unlimited team options

hamilton would rival choke for worst contract on the team

he would melt down so fast in philly it wouldnt be funny...all it would take would be for him to have one slump like that month he had in texas this year and the fans would have him over in camden doing lines off a hookers titty faster than you could say "pass the latkas" at hanukkah dinner

fwiw crasnick just said that a scout and an agent both told him that hamilton will go to the phils

There's no way it's less than 4 years. farging RAJ never learns even though the Howard/Lee deals have been a disaster. What's one more $20 million per player. Wonder if they'll stop selling alcohol at CBP now.

[ice grillin you]

i think four years is actually a bargain for the upside he can give you....prince got nine years for example

obviously with hamiltons off the field resume he wouldnt never get anything close to that but four seems a little low to me

[BigEd76]

The Lopez deal (expected to be for Cloyd and Valle) might be falling apart due to his MRI results
