you think too much of our prospects. They are not worth that kind of dough.
-
and very possibly a back breaker too.
-
Williams should hang himself in the shower before the game ends. What an idiot!
-
What a stupid move by Matt Williams removing Zimmerman after a walk in the 9th with 2 outs after dominating the Giants giving up only 4 base runners. Just another example of managerial stupidity.
-
Kershaw hasn't exactly established himself as a big game pitcher. No starter has ever had back to back post season starts with 7 earned runs. He is the anti- Schilling. Plus, the Cards have a weak offense.
-
Even Dartmouth produces idiot managers. Blow Joba does it again!
-
I doubt that WMB is in the plans for 2015. His career has crashed and burned. I'll gladly eat those words if he miraculous gets a chance and produces.
-
I think money is the #1 priority of most players. That doesn't mean that he will get it.
-
Lowrie is a thousand times better than Middlebrooks. Plus, I don't think that he will command a very big salary. His glove and arm would be more than adequate at 3B.
-
The A's are said to be considering moving Donaldson. We have a huge hole at 3B. Another possibility is Jed Lowrie who is a free agent.

did you notice the scoring change in our football matchup? It was so close that the slight adjustment changed a win to a loss for me. -
You got that right.
-
Ratings were near zero. That's all MLB cares about. A Pittsburgh-KC Series would be a nightmare for MLB. LOL!! Therefore, I am rooting for that.
-
Lmao @ A's! I hate Oakland and I have always hated the A's. I am also glad that Lester will not be working deep into the post season and wearing out his arm for next season. I want him to be in top form when we face him with the Yankees. LOL!
-
Barnes, Craig, and Middlebrooks might get you Jason Hamel, not Cole, even if Owens isw part of the package. The Phillies have 2 young third basemen that are better than WMB. Craig stinks, and Barnes meh.
-
Agreed
-
The more payroll we take the less we would have to pay in talent. From what I have been reading is that the Phillies are more interested in getting a haul of talent than in salary relief.
-
True, good point. But I don't think we have 2 guys to net us Hamels outside of Betts and either Owens or Swihart.
-
Maybe you get Hamels for all 4 of them. Take Swihart out of that mix, and you have to add in Owens or Betts to go with 2 of the other 3. A blue chipper in my mind is a guy who can get you a starting major leaguer without adding to the deal. That is my definition. An example of what I am talking about is Wil Myers for James Shields. We don't have anyone other than Betts or Owens who can get us someone of that caliber. If we don't want to part with either of them, don't expect any big trades unless guys are included from our major league roster.
-
Trading Victorino for pennies on the dollar would be silly since he is the best OFer on the team when healthy. If healthy, making him a 4th OFer is even silier.
-
Clearly, I do follow their prospects. If you want to net Cole Hamels, it will cost Betts or Owens and a handful of the others. The others are not blue-chippers. They would be second or third pieces in a larger package. Cole Hamels is not Heathcliff Slocumb.
-
Unfortunately, the FO has put themselves in a position where they have very few trade chips. Betts and Owens are about all we have. No one is going to call and inquire about Bradleyor Middlebrools. And any offers that we get for XB will be lowball offers. I wouldn't espxpect much help through trades unless Betts or Owens are part of it. I like Betts too, but I think we are so excited about him because of the contrast between his play and the other guys who were busts this year. I don't know if Betts 2014 was any more impressive than XB 2013, so I will temper my enthusiasm and I will not be too upset if he nets us Cole Hamels.
-
The Rays got beaten like a drum again this season. Toronto waited years for their young talent to develop. It never did as they sat at the bottom of the standings. I like Betts, but HOF aspirations might be a little premature. Bag well was traded for a middle reliever, Larry Anderson who pitched for us for a month. We didn't get a couple of years out of a top starter.
-
Others will argue with you for the sake of arguing or out of sheer stupidity, but you are right. I saw a big downturn coming but not this kind of debacle, simply because I didn't think Cherrie s would let Bradley, XB and Middlebrooks have so much rope. I thought that he would have done something to stop the bleeding early on. In 2013, everything went right. Even that bum Buchholz came out of the box with an 11-0 record. We were in first place with our best hitter on the DL throughout April. It was a storybook season. You leave out the fact that the World Series opposing manager continued to pitch to the insanely hot Ortiz even though no one else in the lineup was producing. He beat them singlehandedly. When Matheny finally stopped pitching to Ortiz, the others started to hit. I guess that Cherries thought he found some sort of secret for success. He did not.
