Don't you remember my Dom Brown + proposal? When I posted that the first thing that ran through my head was how I'm going to have to explain this to Todd. No lie. Sad for you, but mostly for me.

[MDS]

yea i dont told you it was ridiculous, and it still is.

domonic brown is terrible. you cant trade him and a couple clearwater pitchers and get the best overall player in baseball. it took them 3 top level prospects just to get halladay and he WANTED to go.

if rube didnt waste 25 mil on choke or throw 20 mil at lee because he wanted to maybe they could be in a spot to get prince or something

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Phils are going to try to bring back Thome as a stop-gap until Howard's healthy.

yikes at all the "get out" vitriol towards lidge

hes been finishes for 2 years, i dont get the hate. hate on manuel for running him out there or rube for not cutting ties last season.

Jesus Christ... there is no possible way you're this obtuse.

Pretty sure people called me crazy last offseason when I said the Phils were going to sign Lee. Maybe they trade for Kemp, maybe they don't, but I get the feeling they're going to do something drastic with their lineup.

[Rome]

I think the only way they go balls out is if they don't re-sign Madson and Rollins.  If they don't re-sign Rollins & Madson they would have the money to do it, but they would still need a shortstop and a closer and that leaves a cheap one-year deal for a closer and hope to God Freddy Galvis is ready.

So... re-sign Madson & Rollins or go big with a guy like Kemp & cheap with a closer & a rookie shortstop.

[SD]

I've accepted the fact that Rollins isn't going to be back. I think they sign a stop gap guy like Renteria. I'd be fine with bringing Madson back, if not I think they go after Bell. Bottom line is they didn't get it done the last 3 seasons with what they have so changes have to be made.

[Eagles_Legendz]

Much rather go with Madson than Bell, but I'm also not in the mood to hand out another $12 mill a year for a closer at the expense of Rollins or upgrading the outfield.

if i cant be talking black here what can i does

[Sgt PSN]

You really don't have a defined roll other than emulating Havas.  We certainly aren't relying on you for any hard hitting sports stories or opinion pieces.   

[MDS]

am i supposed to be a writer here, too? this place is horrendous and barely deserves me paying attention to the red squiggly lines when something be spelled wrong

[Sgt PSN]

I'm pretty sure most writers consider themselves writers everywhere.
