2013-14 Phillies Offseason Thread

[Rome]

Seriously though... How ridiculous is this move?  How does Smug get the go ahead to make this signing?

[Eagles_Legendz]

i'm just glad he isn't shelling 75 million out for zesty nelson cruz.  you knew he was going to make a bad move, i'm just stuck rooting for the least bad move possible at this point.

Just the bat that the Phillies need to add some energy in this lineup.

Best move RAJ has made in months

So they allow glue sniffing where you work?

[MDS]

the only silver lining is 8 mil is chump change for them....and that raj is closer to getting fired

but really this dude was in the mexican league a year ago and now he has 16 mil and 2 years. jesus.

I don't get why people are so upset over anything they do....they are going to range from sucking to being .500 for the better part of the next 5-7 years....why do people get upset over marlon byrd

Ruiz is getting a lot of buzz at these general managers meetings. The Denver Post has reported that the Rockies have made an offer. Fox Sports cites a source as saying Ruiz has received a two-year, $20 million offer from an unidentified club. In addition to the Rockies, the Red Sox and Blue Jays appear to have interest in Ruiz.

[Munson]

It's gotta be because of the way he handles a staff, right? He's 34 and he's had one above average year with the bat

[Eagles_Legendz]

Ruiz had 4 years in a row coming into this year above 100 OPS+.

He'll probably be declining now and isn't worth a big contract but he was a productive offensive player because he got on base so much.

[Munson]

He was definitely productive, but not some great batter that deserves double digit millions per year
