Phillies Offseason Thread 12-13

young would be horrid.  shtein.. just resign polanco if their going that route.  at least then they won't have to give up anything.

They're giving up Lindblom, who nobody is gonna miss

[ice grillin you]

linblom is better and worth much more than young at this point in their respective careers

at least lindblom is still only 25 and has room to improve....also relievers are notoriously up and down...if he stinks again then you send him to allentown

young is a cooked POS elder

143 out of 150 qualifying players in ops last year

[Rome]

Settle down, all of you.

[ice grillin you]

exactly. it's a lateral move.. for the sake of making a move.  galvis should be fine defensively at 3rd and frandsen while not hitting .330 i would be willing to bet wouldn't be the worst hitter in the majors.  if rube has a hard on for a veteran.. as i said.. resign polanco..  he would be cheaper anyway.  any sort of rotating platoon would be much better then that hack.  an off year is one thing. an off year at 37 means you'RE DONE.

again considering where he hit in the lineup and the chances he had young was probably the least productive player in baseball last year

i can only imagine its going to get worse a year older in a new league new city new team worse lineup worse team

[Eagles_Legendz]

lol @ having to throw in a prospect in addition to get michael young.

[PhillyPhreak54]

I'm ok with the deal.

Lindblom is Geoff Geary reincarnated
Bonilla? Eh.

Texas is paying $10M.

[Rome]

So $6M for Young.

That's fine.

[MDS]

lindblom was a homer machine

young is farging terrible. just god awful.

whatever

[ice grillin you]

i dont think the trade is the end of the world or anything but their bullpen is in a shambles....im not sure id be trading a live arm from it for kevin frandsens father

[MDS]

they have the cash to sign mike adams are something

clearly they viewed lindblom equal with stutes/de frautus/aumont/havas/goldenstein and the rest of the youngins in the pen. he was expendable.

and third base is still a huge concern. better hope cody asche is mike schmidt

[ice grillin you]

the difference is hes a proven major leaguer...so they have weakened one position even if its marginally and didnt improve another area

thus trade = a slight loss now

and a big loss if linblom reverts back to form....which often happens with relievers

victorino for young....seems fair

[MDS]

yea i mean sure

but in reality no small or big move is going to change anything. the wheels came off a while ago and its all downhill from here.
