Phillies Offseason Thread

The Orioles?  Smart choice considering how successful they've been at building winners.

27th out of 30 ranking currently.

Awesome.

its the george costanza method.. select the opposite of everything this guy suggests.

[reese125]

he was awful lazy and didnt seem to care and his tweet shows it.....if you are gonna tweet within two weeks of that disgrace then it better be an apology for losing.....otherwise shut the farg up and go away

I am still pissed at his rolling into second standing up when he hit that ball down the right field line that kind of bounced around the corner. He's supposedly the fastest guy on the team and in that kind of game he needs to be at third.

He lands at third with 1 out, ibanez doesn't get those high breaking pitches to pop out, he gets something lower to drive. Game 5 was over right there because he was lazy.

I thought the same thing after he it, but the replay clearly showed the ball hit the back wall and basically moved to the right about a foot. The ball was not rolling in the corner.

I know, but the RF anticipated a bounce that never happened and had to play it differently than anticipated taking him off his alignment a bit. At the very least Samuel should have seen this. It would have taken an absolutely perfect throw to get him out at third. It's a chance you have to take in a game like that. It's a chance that victorino would have taken 4 years ago.

Choke had his surgery today. Complete tear of the Achilles. 5-6 mo recovery per Rube.

I wonder why Utley hasn't gone under the blade yet?    He'll wait till February until the season gets good and close to starting.  After all, games in April & May don't count, amirite?

[ice grillin you]

this year they didnt

Surgery won't do him any good because he can't grow new cartilage. It's an injury he's stuck with for the rest of his career.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

This team needs an entire new infield.

[MDS]

since they plan on starting hof brown in AAA that means they also need a right fielder. and since victorino is the only possible player they can trade, he might go, too.

also they have no money. also the heart and soul in jimmy might go. also choke is beyond damaged good and is just starting his 5 year extension. also utley is a waste of space.

also....farg this team.

Send him to Korea for some stem cells?

I can't believe this thread exists already.  Blow this thread up with everyone inside.

Don't they actually need a left fielder?

[SD]

Yes^^^^ and lol at them not having any money. They have roughly $40 million coming off the books. Maybe they don't go out and sign the biggest f/a on the market but there's enough money to add some players. This is no longer the nickle and dime Phillies, they've sold out over 200 games and have the added revenue of playoff games from the last 5 seasons.
