2013-14 Phillies Offseason Thread

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

It means he grabbed a titty during the physical

[ice grillin you]

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.

if any team but the phillies had signed him you would have let out a thousand wtf's and lol's right after you asked: 16 million for aj burnett??

[Eagles_Legendz]

Burnett on a 1 year deal @ that salary is absolutely fine.  Problem is he's going to a team that isn't close to winning so won't make much of a difference and probably has a no trade clause so the idea to flip him for prospects doesn't seem plausible.  Just one year and 16 mil floating away.

[ice grillin you]

yeah i dont care if they paid him 100 mil for this year it doesnt matter in the big picture....i just think its funny that romey has nothing to say about it because its the phillies....yet more times than I can count he has gone beserk over the amount of money a player in sports gets paid...hes the king of that

but again this is the guy who went to the end of the earth to defend paplebons deal

That's simply false.    There are outlandish contracts that defy any sort of logic (Howard's for instance, and upon reflection, certainly Papelbon's qualifies) but this just isn't one of them.  It's one year.  They have the money.  Pitchers 3-4-5-6-7 are all garbage or unproven.  They have a 160 million dollar-plus payroll and Rube's ass is on the line.   It's not the least bit surprising that they'd make the deal or unreasonable in any sense of the word especially considering it's a one year deal.
