OT: 2018 Phillies Thread Part 2

[HokieDude17]

0-3 since Klentak made a move.

Cabrera has zero range btw.

Everybody was clamoring for a move, they got a move. I don't think it was necessary, but hey here we are.

That’s ok with me. Granderson is probably a better fit anyway.

I haven't looked at the numbers but they likely need to free up a few spots for the rule 5 draft in December, so at some point they may need to trade a few bodies. Maybe get some international bonus pool money at least.

 

[FLYguy3911]

Kilome was on the 40 and Cabrera likely walks after the season so there is one spot. Sounds like they are only targeting rentals.

Lol

Stop

 

[CutOnDime97]

Grandy seems like a good fit, would it take much?

 

[FLYguy3911]

Lol

Stop

Can’t handle the facts?

 

[DancingPanther]

Can’t handle the facts?

They lost 3 of 4. Big f***ing whoop. It's baseball, good teams lose to bad teams sometimes.

You're talking about a team that's honwlike 12-3 in their last 15 series matchups and now the sky is falling

Did he say otherwise?

 

[Halladay]

They are a bad road team, great home team.

 

[deadhead]

They are a young team, young teams are inconsistent teams.

Phillies shouldn't be in 1st place, they won 66 games last year (though close to .500 the second half), Crawford injured, Kingery struggling, Altherr sent down, Pivetta struggling, Arrieta not the #1 starter he was two years ago, Santana hitting .210.

They're doing it a bit with "smoke and mirrors" (winning more than expected in 1 run games), some young players stepping up.
The most important thing, like the Flyers, is to enjoy it but remember they're still rebuilding and not fall into "win now" syndrome.

Fortunately, Klentak is as patient as Hextall, one reason Kilome was traded was room on the 40 man roster, a number of other young pitchers (De Los Santos, Suarez, Romero, Medina, and of course Sixto) have passed him as he continues to struggle with command. So he traded an asset he might have had to expose to the Rule 5 draft.

 

[FLYguy3911]

Houston is all in. Flipped Giles for Osuna.

 

[Jray42]

WHAT THE f*** WAS THAT

 

[FatTugboatFlahr]

That's pathetic.

 

[Jray42]

Did I just hear an Eagles chant? That's awesome considering they're in Boston

 

[wankstifier]

f*** it... get Harper please

 

[FLYguy3911]

I hope Neshek was on a pitch count on something.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

 

[FLYguy3911]

McCarthy not missing an opportunity to dump on Odubel tonight.

 

[Cody Webster]

Is it too late to add Santana to the list of shitty FA signings?

What would you give up to get Harper?

 

[Cody Webster]

Someone shove a sock in that kids mouth please?

 

[trostol]

Is it too late to add Santana to the list of ****ty FA signings?

What would you give up to get Harper?

not much unless you guarantee he re-signs...cause if he walks you are just giving a rival a good bunch of propects

Quite a bit less than what the Dodgers gave up for Machado.

 

[FLYguy3911]

They’d probably give up about the same as Machado. Maybe minus a little. Not sure Washington would trade him within the division especially to a team who could be his employer next year unless it’s a severe overpay.
