    He's already f***ed it up. Who do we have to make massive upgrades to this team? Stroman and Hutch? These have to be the guys who hold the only true weight in trade value. Unless we're trading for Bruce Chen, I doubt the farm allows us to make any big acquisition. Still interested in whether you'd roll with New C/SP/Goins or new 2B/SP/JPA ? Edit: Forgot Sanchez, thanks BTS

    Completely agree. Will this happen? I highly doubt it.

    Unless AA finds and exploits another CBA inefficiency, odds are he has no choice but to improve some of the team from within. The farm needs to be rebuilt, not ripped apart again this summer. We have marginal expendable pieces at the big league level, and hardly any of them hold any trade value (Rasmus), and our payroll is already pushing 140. We are the Phillies, not the Dodgers. So expecting upgrades all over the diamond is foolish.

    That's because Izturis is literally having one of the worst seasons of all time by WAR standards. Regression to the mean. Nobody can expect 2B to be this bad again this year, even if we rolled with the same trio. What most guys are getting at is that realistically, we won't, not that we shouldn't, address everything. I'd feel a lot more comfortable with a new catcher, SP and Goins/Izturis/Kawa, dont really give a f*** which of those three it is, than keeping Arencibia, signing a SP and a guy like Kelly Johnson to play second. Interested to hear your take. Which situation would you prefer to see?

    Depends how deep the pockets get this offseason. We all know that in order to compete they will have to get deeper, but whether or not they will is a different question. And I guess if Rogers does spend more (ie bringing in a catcher and a SP), not spending 2-3 mil on a 1-2 WAR 2B seems completely absurd.

    AA needs to improve the team however he can, wherever he can. I think most posters here are saying that if we make upgrades at C and SP that living with Ryan Goins at 2B isn't the worst thing in the world. Realistically, we are not going to add a C, 2B, and two SP's this offseason, but if we crossed two of those off the list by adding a Ruiz and a couple of pitchers, Goins could work. Let me ask this. Would you guys rather see AA sign a McCann and a starting pitcher, and go with Goins at second, OR sign Infante and a starter and go with JPA behind the dish?

    Then gets thrown out, well done Rajai.
  8. L54
    No excuse for Rajai to not be on second right now

    One of the few bright spots this year. He's really become one of the game's best rounded hitters. Thanks for the post.

    Have fun! Definitely something on my bucket list.

    Lawrie's unwillingness is probably a more accurate guess. Call me crazy, but I wouldn't be surprised if DeRosa has made quite an influence on him lately. SSS sure, but his AB's have looked so much better.
  12. L54
    You're exactly right. From all my experiences, movement just makes hitting more difficult. It works for some guys, after years and years of repetition. Just a quick YouTube search of videos to refresh my memory, shows a lot less movement when he first came up. I don't know what influenced all this extra movement. It seems like its causing him to get around balls, rather than on top of them.
  13. L54
    His hands have seemed to have quieted down considerably, which I think was part of the reason he had trouble barreling up baseballs. He's also staying on the outside pitch very well, which is a step in the right direction for him.

    You're just so bad Arencibia
  16. L54
    I wanted Dickey to throw 9 innings, just so we didnt have to see this clown hit
  17. L54
    Wow
  18. L54
    JP is so good he can throw from his knees!!
  19. L54
    This team is fundamentally f***ed. I don't think there is a single thing they do well.
  20. L54
    When does the fat greek lock up Rasmus? Is this all the talent finally coming together?
  21. L54
    I still don't disagree with the Rasmus trade. Guy oozes with talent, and maybe he'll never put it together but giving up spare pieces for him wasn't a back breaker (minus the 8 mil). He's still provided good defense, and I don't think anybody will disagree the talent isn't there. I remember AA being praised heavily at the time of that trade. Low risk, high reward type trade.

    Good job JPA!

    f***in Edwin has looked like s*** tonight
  24. L54
    No.
  25. L54
    Meadows does look like he has a long swing and his hands seem to move a fair bit but he looks like he has the ability to develop a smooth line drive swing. That and what looks to be plus speed (tripled down the LF line in one of the videos I saw).
