Swift_Psycho 1 Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 Cliff Lee leaves a bunch of money on the table to come back to Philly? Coolio for us. Though, didn't we trade him away before last year for a bunch of B/C-level prospects because we didn't want to give him this sort of extension? Amaro needs to make up his mind about these things. I'm also stunned that Cliff Lee would pit the Rangers and Yankees against each other like this and then sign with a third team for less guaranteed money.This contract might bite us towards the end, but for 2011, I'm excited as shit. Potentially legendary rotation now, though maybe only for one year since Hamels and Oswalt could walk after 2011. Link to post Share on other sites

I have No idea what Ruben was doing last year...we got him for the same money as was being discussed. Still super happy about it right now. The window is wide for for at least 3 more years...dynasty...time will tell. Link to post Share on other sites

Still super happy about it right now. The window is wide for for at least 3 more years...dynasty...time will tell.I'm sure a big part of the reason he ended up back in Philly was due to his incredible post season shows. Just one monster year on the books for the payroll, but that is going to come down significantly. This also gives the Phillies a ton of flexibility to trade Hamels mid season for a bat if they need one or potentially a top closer near the all star break depending on how their rotation is working out.

timwakefield 68 Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 Hey National League: If you guys wanna take Greinke and King Felix in the next couple years too, that'd be cool with me. Link to post Share on other sites

timwakefield 68 Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 Nationals Aggressively Pursuing Trade for GreinkeOh hell yes. The only Greinke rumor I'd read in the last week involved the Rangers, if they didn't get Lee. Link to post Share on other sites

Swift_Psycho 1 Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 Nice start overall, though the offense is due for some heavy regression, lol. Link to post Share on other sites

The Rangers and Red Sox threads are giving me a headache.You know what's amazing? Ryan Howard, who has been crushing it right now, has a 1340 OPS. Barry Bonds had four entire seasons better than that. Link to post Share on other sites

That is an unfathomably high number. He had a .310 BABIP and a .362 batting average. Link to post Share on other sites

He had a .310 BABIP and a .362 batting average.the "clear" sharpened his eye..for whatever faults he had and there many he was very good staying in the strike zone and even better at being disciplined inside of the zone depending on the count....something that would make Howard much better if he learned.

Indeed, his O-Swing percentage has nearly doubled in the past seven years: Pujols swung at 15.7 percent of pitches out of the zone in 2004, versus 29.7 percent today.1Now here's that footnote:1That same year, Barry Bonds swung at a microscopic 8.8 percent of pitches outside the strike zone. Think about that. Bonds led the league with a .538 wOBA that year, in one of the most potent offensive seasons in baseball history. He almost never got a pitch to hit. But rather than hacking at a pitch out of the zone and rolling a grounder to second, he waited for that one pitch he could hammer. Bonds walked 232 times in 2004 (120 intentional, many more semi-intentional) and struck out just 41 times. Link to post Share on other sites

Also up 10 games in the loss column to Milwaukee...with 20 odd games left I don't see any way that gap can be made up...the road to the WS is going through South Philly again this fall!! That is huge when you look at Milwaukee's home record!!! Link to post Share on other sites

akoff 0 Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 first thing i thought. he's good but not near 50 mill good.the plan must be to win 3 games a week with Doc, Cole and Cliff going 8 plus the closer...the rest of the pen scares anyone. Kendrick needs to take a bigger role or get traded for usable parts. if he isn't a starter lets see if he can do the job as a set up man. Link to post Share on other sites
