Phillies Offseason Thread 12-13

[Don Ho]

100% right on Geo.  I was totally against getting Bourn and overpaying him to watch another kook strikeout religiously.  This certainly shows Heir Smugweiler has little confidence in HOF and Babe.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

I don't know why he wouldn't. They're both basically guaranteed first balloters.

Right now calling Brown "Von" is giving him too much credit.  He hasn't even reached those modest expectations yet.

Maybe Dom Stone?

Dom Jackson? (For Jeff Jackson)
Dominic Otero?

lol young grounded into the same amount of double plays as times he walked

4 howard
5 young
6 michael young
7 ruiz

slowest group of washed up dinosaurs in baseball history. holy shtein. how many double plays are they gonna have...how many times will they strand runners because of their lack of speed. good god.

[QB Eagles]

Fans complain that the Phillies need to get younger, so Amaro goes out and gets two guys named Young. And yet the fans still complain about the offseason! There's no pleasing some folks.

Shoveling dirt on a team that hasn't even gotten to Floruda yet is an exercise in Philly cynical inferiority I've yet to see.

you actually watch teams and dont know what you are talking about...flyers have lots of awesome talent....but people cant look at a phillies roster that is blantantly bad and know they are not going to be a good team??

I know enough to anticipate whether they're going to be good or not.

I think that if they can afford long term injury they're going to be a 85-90 win team as opposed to the basement dwellers you and dipshtein go on page after page about.

[ice grillin you]

they will finish ahead of florida so they cant finish in the basement

but lol @ 90 wins...anything above .500 would be a nice year for them

[MDS]

delmon young hit .267 and didnt even have a .300 obp. how is that even possible?

im sorry if facts get in the way of your sunnyside up phillies homerism but they are really bad on paper. being old slow free swingers with a questionable pitching = recipe of 90 wins. sure.

[Sgt PSN]

85 wins seems like the ceiling for this team.  A lot of things would have to go right for them to reach 90.   

[ice grillin you]

sounds about right to me
