Phillies Offseason Thread

[rjs246]

Start with basic coherent communication. Maybe then you can entertain the idea of considering yourself a writer.

[MDS]

i seem to communicate just fine when i be kicking your ass in words with friends

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh what rusty

[rjs246]

No.

[Sgt PSN]

I'd be willing to bet a paycheck that Todd uses a dictionary and Rusty doesn't.  My squaw does the same thing.  She seems to have a much better vocabulary when we play words with friends than she does when we play Scrabble. 

[rjs246]

Who knows. It's a stupid way to play scrabble because you don't have to even know the words you use. But beyond that Todd's post is retarded since I'm pretty sure I win at least two thirds of our games. He's talking shtein about beating me every now and then? Uh ok.

[MDS]

alls i know is i run through russell and his dirty northern virginian education

[Sgt PSN]

Jews don't run.  Ever.  That's why the Nazis caught them.

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.

lol yeah "just go with" kemp....just go with it daddy-o...its so eazzzzzeeee

Who the farg said anything would be easy?  Was it easy of the Phillies to get Halladay or Lee or Hunter Pence?

It takes luck and it takes finding the right trading partner or free agent scenario. 

[ice grillin you]

they arent getting kemp they could literally trade their whole system for him and they wouldnt have enough...and thats if the dodgers even trade him which they wont

yeah it actually was easy to get the other three....lee was a former phillie who loved it there and was a free agent...pence was owned by ed wade and halladay wanted out and the phillies had a top just about major league ready prospect

[Rome]

It was so easy to get Halladay they actually got Lee instead in 2009 because the Jays wouldn't pull the trigger. 

And let me remind you that Halladay was arguably the best pitcher in baseball at the time they got him.

Like SD said, it can happen.  Not saying it will but you saying it definitely won't when history has proven otherwise is just you being a stubborn jackass as usual.

[ice grillin you]

like you said just go with kemp...why not...just get him...if they want him hes theres...after all they are the phillies

[MDS]

if you old people remember halladay only got traded after the jays fired that incompetent billy beane disciple jp riccardi. the new guy actually realized that top level prospects were better than an ace he didnt need.

if the phillies offered that package to the dodgers, and if kemp wanted out like halladay out, i mean maybe but probably not.

the thing is that package is gone and the phillies have a washed up former blue chipper and a bunch of random minor leaguers nobody gives a shtein about on the threshers.

but im sure rube has got this.

[ice grillin you]

just go with kemp....thats what id do

[SunMo]

i'd go with pujols to play 3rd and have kemp as my back up option
