I would be much more concerned that Prince to Texas fill get Arte to open his wallet for another bat we don't really need.

I agree or over spend on Garza.

Who is the better get Lynn or Kelly?

Wouldn't Romine play short?

What's the drop dead date on the posting situation?

Do you think Prince going to Texas will motivate Arte to open his wallet for Tanaka?

I can't believe we would offer Boujos for Freese straight up. This makes me nervous.

I won't like the trade if it's Peter for Freese. I can get on board with PB/Aybar for Freese and Kelly

I get worried and excited.

If he signs for 5/65 I think the Angels should go after him. He isn't my first choice but for 13 mil a year he is worth it.

I was reading this earlier and was thinking the same thing. How is his bat though?

If the Phillies paid a lot of Lee's contract and it meant giving up Pete plus a low level prospect id do it in a heart beat and I love Pete. A healthy Weaver, Lee, Wilson an Richards is a really good start to a dominate rotation.

I still think we should take a shot at Josh Johnson. He won't cost as much and he still has life on his fastball. Might be a really good buy low candidate. I know this isn't liked by a lot of people on this board and health is a concern.

How many blown saves did have compared to Nathan? Is Nathan worth that much more money? Nathan's presence in the pen would be nice though.

I agree. Ernesto was pretty good in the closer role last year. He just had a rough stretch and maybe with a year of experience under his belt he is due for a very solid season

What's the downside?

Does it hurt to keep him in AAA to see if he pans out?

That's what I was thinking.

Not even worth a minor league contract?

When healthy he is really good.

Just got released from TB. Might not be a bad pick up. He won't cost a lot, thoughts?
