2013-14 Phillies Offseason Thread

[ice grillin you]

id say that too if my job depended on the team playing well

[PhillyPhreak54]

His job depends on Monty being alive. Free Pass Rube.

[ice grillin you]

i despise roob but i dont think he should have been fired yet....if you are refusing to rebuild why not let him try to win and fail until they are finally done reaching for something they have had no prayer of getting

if roob is here for even the beginning of the rebuild then ill get really angry

[PhillyPhreak54]

Better prime your anger pump now...Monty ain't firing him.

And if he does then Proefrock gets the nod and he's as bad as his daddy Smug

everytime i see the aj burnett number i cant belive it...not that the philklies are paying it because its just one year but the fact that that pos burnett is going to make 16 mil from april to sept this year

this is what really kills me tho...

Burnett = meh.  He's fine for a year.

homer romey is mr go beserk over sports contracts but doesnt even acknowledge burnetts money....only that hes just an ok player...then again he defended paplebons deal...so i think we know why 16 mil for this guy isnt noteworthy

Wheeze Kids Part II

Vegas win totals come out this weekend.

Gimme the over!!

[ice grillin you]

ive seen 83 as the generally agreed upon number in vegas

[Eagles_Legendz]

83 is way too high especially with Hamels being iffy. 

I'd think 77 or so.

[ice grillin you]

im not guessing...it is/was 83....but it was pre heidi injury....still i cant believe a guy who wins less than 15 games a year is a six game differential....also 83 was pre aj burnett

[MDS]

pretty sure vegas isnt factoring pitchers win totals...they knew the stat was a sham before the nerds even did

[ice grillin you]

it def matters....if a teams number one starter is out for the year the team in question wins total is going to go down.....thats not up for debate.....in heidi's case it aint changing six games

[ice grillin you]

man you know the phillies are hurtin when opening day doesnt immediately sell out

[MDS]

or when rube says "it hurts" that chad gaudin failed his physical

I'm not phased by Burnett's deal or salary.

It's one year and they had to overpay because Rube is an assjack.  I thought considering what was available it wasn't horrible.

Hence the meh.

[Munson]

yeah, what does Burnett's deal prevent them from doing? It's a one year deal, it's not gonna help or hinder the rebuild process.
