Rest Of Baseball - 2011

[PhillyPhreak54]

Only Sunny, Smug, Reyes and his agent would be happy if the Phils had signed him.

[Rome]

18 million dollars a year for a guy who hasn't played regularly since the year the Phillies won the World Series is fantastic and is clearly much better than Papelbon's "crazy" 12.5 million per...

It's IGY logic and it's irrefutable.

[QB Eagles]

He's played more games the last couple of seasons than $15 million/yr Grit has.

He might not have played a full season since 2008, but I think the Marlins are okay with Reyes missing 30-odd games and winning the batting title like he did this season. 2009 is probably the only year that really gives them pause about signing a 6-year contract. As long as the AZT cocktail keeps working, anyway.

[Rome]

Yeah, I'm sure they'd be thrilled if he only played 130 games a year.  What's the Spanish word for "thrilled" incidentally?

[SunMo]

i'm such an idiot for wanting a dynamic young leadoff hitter.

[DH]

farg you Reyes

[Rome]

i'm such an idiot for wanting a dynamic young leadoff hitter.

No you're not.  We all want one of those.  Reyes wasn't coming to Philly, though.  Sorry, Sunny.

[PhillyPhreak54]

Yes we would; Jose Reyes is not one of those dynamic young leadoff hitters.

[MDS]

He's dynamically gay though

[SunMo]

ok, so Jose Reyes isn't a good leadoff hitter.

cool.

[MDS]

He's good on a fantasy team, not a real one.

I thought you liked sports.

[BigEd76]

Jose Reyes is not one of those dynamic young leadoff hitters.

what

[PhillyPhreak54]

The guy doesn't play hard all the time, has a low baseball IQ and gets hurt like clockwork. That screams dynamic to me.

[Rome]

Reyes would be a million times better than anyone else available but tying up $100M+ for a guy who repeatedly gets hurt is just daring fate to smack you down.

[SunMo]

it worked out well for michael vick!
