Igy?

I think they have enough to sign him.

[Geowhizzer]

Hamels at 23-25 mil a year? I mean he's been great but is really going to get a deal paying him more then Roy Halladay? I was thinking 20 mil a year max....

Simple natural inflation will get him close to that.  Lee's up to 25 next year, and Hamels is just entering his prime. Wouldn't surprise me to see him get at least 6 years / $135M+ from somebody when he goes FA. 

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Halladay will only have one year left at that time.

Igy?

Pretty much what I was thinking.  I think if they sign Hamels at that cost ($23-25mil), they're getting him a fairly reasonable price (assuming he keeps pitching like he did this year).  And if he has another solid year in 2012, then they should def offer him a little more than what they gave Doc or Lee since he's home grown.

lol @ worrying about locking up hamels

by the time his supposed contract kicks in chase utley wont be able to walk, choke will be dead and jimmy will be 45 years old. and in case you werent aware they have nothing in the farm system and tons of backend money tied up to lee, howard and now papelboner.

unless you think dom brown is willie mays its already over for them

As expected, Worley finished 3rd in NL ROY behind the two Braves and ahead of the kidnapped Nat

[BigEd76]

Papelbon's press conf just finished.  His deal has an extra $58 on the end of it, and he got ODB's #58

"I told my agents, 'Listen....I want to go play for the Phillies. Let's make it happen.'"

[Eagles_Legendz]

yeah i'm not sure i buy that, but whatever.

[MDS]

great, i cant until he pitching on the wrong side of a 2-0 game in the 9th inning because the offense sucks

[SD]

i cant until he pitching either

[Eagles_Legendz]

i can

So he ended up getting consideration?  Gee - I thought he wasn't worthy of consideration.  I'm sure I read that somewhere.

[Sgt PSN]

O'WRLY?

So what the farg is with this cinco ocho shtein?  I knew Papelbon was a flaming cockeater but I had no idea he invented alter egos for himself.  What have we gotten ourselves into here?  Somebody hold me!
