NEWS/RUMORS/INJURIES/"CHRIS's CRAZY THOUGHTS" Thread

Good word, Irish...does this guy have an eye patch , too?
Fuckin Phillie finook pirate...

 

Amaro might be better off waiting until July to deal Hamels. i mean there seems to be teams that are willing to give these 30yr olds 6 and 7 year deals, so that might hurt his leverage a bit. Lester's already gotten two 6 year offers..Scherzer has a 6yr offer from DET that's likely still on the table and his agent is Boras so he's gonna get a good lookin deal. plus, DET's taking calls in regards to David Price as well. Hamels does have that good lookin contract in comparison to the others though..just sayin there are a few alternatives out there and teams look like they have enough interest. but at the same time i think Boston is gonna find a way to shake Amaro down for Hamels..it might come after Lester signs with the Cubs. if the Cards can talk Lester down to a 5yr deal, he'd be perfect there..they need a lefty, but i can't see them giving him a 6yr deal.

 

well, no smiley for me because we disagree here. Amaro needs to trade Hamels, imo, and he needs a really good haul. they need to jumpstart the rebuild there and Hamels is their biggest chip to do so. imo, he asking for a ridiculous return because that's really what they need there being that their organization is in such shitty shape with all those old asses on multi-year deals and the dried up crop on their farm. they need a hail mary and right now they're in danger of being last in that division for a long while. i think it might serve him better to wait until July because maybe the market won't be as flooded with ace-level arms and Hamels may become the main option.

 

• A team source rejected the prevailing view that Philadelphia is asking potential trade partners for two or three of their best prospects. Instead, the team has been in a stance of asking for offers on their star lefty.

• At present, however, only one team has actually made an offer. Interestingly, the offeror is a team that has not been mentioned publicly as of yet. Philly felt it was a “good” offer but “not good enough,” per Stark’s source.

i'm thinkin Marlins. i don't think they've been linked to Hamels yet and they did call DET about Price.

 

Hahaha thanks man. Just telling you guys my opinion, not really inside info. For that it's gonna cost ya

 

I won't buy this Hamels stuff until the 2015 trade deadline as has been written in previous posts.

 

if i'm discussing something and i disagree, then i just disagree and voice such. if it turns into an argument, so be it.

what i don't do is agree just for the sake of agreeing. i just enjoy discussion.

no i'm not.

at some point it's going to happen though..speaking of the rebuild. it must. and they've already been shopping Howard like crazy..they just couldn't and can't find a taker for him.

another thing that makes it hard to negotiate successful trades is when you sign all these big name guys they all get no-trade clauses and teams that they can't be traded to or have to give permission to be traded to and all that shit. just another reason why it's not gonna be an easy rebuild for Philly and why moving Hamels is so important.

there should be 5 of those. just sayin.

otherwise, i like it. :golfclap: ( go ahead and sign me up for the golf clap too..my favorite)

 

Hey guys I've been a reader on these forums for a bit but wanted to join after the playoffs for fear of being seen as a bandwagon db. IMO the only one we should be talking to Philly about is Ruiz. Rollins won't hit more than 240 with 6 or 7 hr's outside that little league stadium with a 100ks. (Alexi would be smarter) Rollins still can run and play d but erisbel can play better d. Ruiz gives us not a huge but a definite upgrade at c and his contract isn't bad. Aj can catch ck and maybe the #5 while Ruiz catches the rest. A platoonish type deal keeps both aging catchers fresh. Hamels seems improbable. Anyways to sum it up fuck Rollins and nice to be here.

 

thanks boss

Rollins hit 10 of his 17HRs away from Philly last year and has just about as many HRs on the road as he has at home in his career (110 home /107 away)

and Rollins graded out as the 6th best defensive SS in MLB last year..Alexei was 13th..who knows where Arruba would rank?

Ruiz is a little cheater..well, it was Adderall. i doubt they go for him, but he does kill us all the damn time.

otherwise, welcome to DSP.

 

no, we had a clear disagreement over the necessity.

i don't see it, but i am reminded of our disagreement about approach in terms of signing big names the other day and why Philly and NYY are in such bad shape.

Bluemouse is bad at math too? :farhan:

hey BM, let me get the golf clap, brotha
