Stop talking about Jerseys and annonce Harper & Machado to the Phillies already, Jeez..
Well...I was all ready for some big signings during the Winter Meetings, but it doesn't sound like that's happening
Harold Baines to the Hall of Fame. I can only assume this has something to do with some dumb SABR stat
I'm fully expecting the Phillies to miss out on both Harper and Machado anyway.
The times they are a-changing.That's a really weird assumption about the Veteran's Committee. They're the stodgiest, most anti-SABR clique you can find. They like the guy. No need to dig further.
Also no need to pay attention the HoF, but etc.
In terms of who gets picked from us or if we pick someone? There seems to be a number of guys available that might be tempting. Not sure if there's anyone that would make it the whole season though, especially in light of the moves we have made thus far and will hopefully (likely) make in the near future. Any guys we might target? I would imagine we would take a flyer on a LHP, preferably one that can start.huge week with the rule 5 draft on Thursday, should be very interesting to see what happens.

Woah, careful going out on that limb.Phils will definitely land a top player
I'm not too worried about that. There aren't a lot of names on the list of eligible players that I would be upset if they were taken, and anyone that gets taken is more likely to be returned than kept anyway.I could see them losing a player or two between the major and minor rule 5 draft.
Interesting that they went for a low risk/low ceiling signing there.
It's almost bigger news to me that Sixto has been involved in talks. That had better be one hell of a player.

*Edit* Also this.
I don't think any of us can have a meaningful opinion there. Who knows? They were willing to eat 38 MM apparently.
