2013-14 Phillies Offseason Thread

[Don Ho]

abreu is not making the team....settle down people...but even if he did who cares

be upset about a starting outfield of byrd - revere - hof not the 25th player on the roster

Roger that.  Chris Wheeler has a better chance of making the team.

[Rome]

He'll be the starting right fielder out of camp.

Book it.

nelson cruz is still out there, theres still time to add one more to the list. you can do it, boobin!

He would be by far their "best" signing.

i dont get why people are so upset at this offseason....the team is done....this era is OVER....they are doing the right thing....the mistakes were all made the last couple of years by not moving pieces to build for the future

[Rome]

We're upset because we're fans.

You feel what you feel and let everyone else do the same.

[ice grillin you]

i guess what im saying is be better fans

if they were doing the right thing they would trade utley and whatever other veterans someone would take.  instead they are limping along trying to get lucky with bargain basement signings.  either go full rebuild or not.  this middle of the road shtein is annoying and not productive

i agree but that anger should have been coming out the last two seasons...the past two trading deadlines specifically were a complete abomination

i mean who the hell cares that they just signed bobby abreu

[SD]

Wins/losses is irrelevant. They want to fill seats and know fans will still come out to see Utley. Nobody but the hardcore fans would rather see prospects and rebuilding. You go into full on rebuild mode and suddenly you're not drawing fans and the stadium attendance turns into Pittsburgh. If they win or have success that's just a bonus. They're gonna milk this cow till its dry,
