  1. Honestly could just tear it all down too. Who cares anymore.
  2. Bring back Big Stick Nick (4 years, $65?) Trade Chatwood and a prospect to Phillies for Cesar Hernandez Trade Ian Happ/Almora/prospect to the Orioles for Bundy/Givens Cut Descalso Nontender Russell Sign Cameron Maybin Sign Collin McHugh Willy Rizzo Hernandez Baez Bryant Castellanos Heyward Schwarber Caratini Kemp Bote Maybin Lester Hendricks Q Darvish Bundy Kimbrel Givens Ryan Phelps Wick Wieck Mills McHugh Let's do the painstaking thing again next year!
  3. Oh no I've accidentally hit the reset button on the gaming console! I guess we have to start the season over!
  4. I'm glad I tuned into this.
  5. I live in Philly and have been to a few Ironpigs and Reading Phillies games the last couple years. They have some decent prospects in that system. Not sure if Bohm will be in Lehigh Valley by then but at the moment some major leaguers are on the roster in Nick Williams, Maikel Franco, Logan Morrison (?!) and a few others. JoJo Romero is a solid pitching prospect (and he signed a ball for me and shook my hand in Reading a couple months ago) and Adam Haseley may be with that team depending on the health of the Phillies' roster.
  6. Not sure where to put this but
  7. He's gonna pitch 18 scoreless innings or something for them, isn't he
  8. I really do think Wick's spot next year is his to lose at this point. He's looked great. I've been a big fan of Mills and would like to see him enter ST with a shot at a role too. Kimbrel Wick Ryan Chatwood Mills Phelps with: Wieck, Mekkes, Maples, Norwood, Underwood, Clifton, Rea, Brooks, Steele as other realistic options (the latter few more on the fringe). Really have to pursue a contract for Will Smith or a trade for a lefty but there are some good bones there for the pen. It's not excellent but there's some decent depth. I think Webster and Rosario are gone (or at least off the 40 man roster). I forgot about Graveman but I don't think he can be counted on.
  9. We have a decent amount of middle relief option in Iowa between Underwood, Mills, Mekkes, Maples, Brooks, etc. I wonder how many get a look for a role next year with Kintzler, Cishek, Strop contracts all up. Also pointing out we're on page 69.
  10. Patterson is a lefty too. A guy who could maybe help in the pen next season?
  11. Oscar de la Cruz cleared waivers. We get to keep him for now. I'd imagine he's Rule 5 eligible.
  12. Thank god. Also says a lot about the trust in Wick. He's been really good.
  13. I've been following Gallen for a bit and he's had an incredible season. He at least should be a solid back of the pen arm, possibly a mid rotation starter. Good deal for the Dbacks, agreed.
  14. This bums me out immensely
  15. Not thrilled about giving up those guys but Lange hasn't shown anything and Richan is a few years away. Gotta do it.
  16. Ok. He's not a bad hitter and can play multiple positions and is under team control awhile. I'd argue he's more valuable than Maldonado. I'm fine with it. Hopefully this means the end of descalso.
  17. Basically the same trade. Got an unexciting middle reliever with a cheap option for the following year in exchange for a minor leaguer with a low ceiling/high floor. He'll likely replace Kintzler in next year's pen.
  18. We acquired David Phelps today for Tom Hatch. I like Hatch a lot, hoping for the best for him. Phelps on the other hand is a guy I wanted a few years ago. Stuff seems to be playing well returning from TJS.
  19. He must have missed the signs at baggage claim.
