the nationals released john patterson...hes had a terrible spring but hes someone they absolutely need to take a look at...if not straight out attempt to sign

Him and Benson can share a hospital room together.

He's not only had a terrible spring, he's had a terrible decade.

QuoteAnd here we go again
With all the things we said
And not a minute spent
To think that we'd regret
So we just take it back,
These words and hold our breath
Forget the things we swore we meant

Impossible. No way he did that because he sucks and is no better than a 5th starter for the Royals or Pirates!

Rome · March 20, 2008, 07:48:40 PM

The Pirates couldn't hit me. The Phillies played at home so the Pirates didn't even have their "starters" in Clearwater today. Let's not start beating off furiously over Kendrick just yet.

PhillyPhreak54 · March 20, 2008, 07:52:11 PM

Not furious, just a little rub 'n tug.

Had lunch before yesterday's game with a bunch of scouts. One, an American League scout who I've known for several years, said he thinks the Phillies were shrewd to sign Pedro Feliz to a two-year, $8.5 million contract. After watching him a lot last season with the Giants, the scout said Feliz will be a "great short-term signing" and expects him to drive in a lot of runs batting behind Chase Utley, Ryan Howard and Pat Burrell in the Phillies' lineup.

By the way, in an informal poll of about five scouts, none think the Phillies have enough pitching to defend their NL East title.

I can't imagine anyone saying they do, scout or no.

Wingspan · March 24, 2008, 04:49:37 PM

This is completely expected and there is no reason for any concern.

NONE!

SunMo · March 24, 2008, 04:50:17 PM
