2015 Phillies Offseason Thread

[smeags]

If its not a player on the phils roster I could care less if they hang on too long.

[ice grillin you]

even if that happened you would blame the phillies not the player.....a player can only "hang on" if a team allows them to

this notion that a player should retire for the betterment of the team he plays for (or really for any other reason other than health) is laughable

[SD]

Really wish Jimmy would just retire already.

Eastbound and down

Ideal scenario would have been Rollins retiring a life-long Phillie.  Unfortunately, the reality of the MLB economics today is that just doesn't happen often.

I'll check out the White Sox a few times this season just to see him a few times.

And, unfortunately, I believe he's falling short of HOF consideration.  He needed an additional 2 or 3 good seasons to get in that discussion.  He'll be in that "very good, but not great enough for long enough" category with the likes of Alan Trammell.

Better than a Dodgers uni

[QB Eagles]

The Blue Jays signed HOF to a minor league deal.

I suspect he has fewer major league games in his future than Jimmy does.

[Rome]

Victorino signed with the Cubs.   Another ring?

i have no idea if those are real names or your cool way of spelling things.

[ice grillin you]

real names....that's also probably their opening day lineup this year minus arenciabia

[Rome]

They might lose 110 games this year.  Or they might surprise us and only lose 100.

Either way, see ya in 2019.

[ice grillin you]

they definitely have a legit shot at back to back number one picks..ironically tho I don't think they even finish last in their own division....the braves are reeeeeeeally bad
