2 yr/16M - that's actually not that bad for a guy to fill the void until.....well, until they figure what the hell will be a decent long-term plan in the OF.

Could've done without the 2nd year, but it's definitely not killing them payroll-wise as opposed to signing someone like Cruz would do.

I'm assuming there's going to be money dedicated towards the 'pen/catcher not named Ruiz (hopefully) - feel like this a preceding move to something else.

Wow another guy that never walks will fit in real well with last years Phillies team.
I guess the Philly front office really doesn't care about OBP.

I'm assuming you're a Red Sox fan - I think. Please justify Johnny Gomes like Tim McCarver did. HE'S A WINNER.

It's not a good signing, but it's not a terrible signing.

I am a Sox fan. Gomes is making a lot less than Marlon Byrd.
Don't worry though I think every free agent signing by all MLB teams will be a bad signing in the offseason with all the extra money the teams have from the TV deal.

I'm just saying it's surely a hell of a lot less than Beltran, Choo, Ellsbury, Cruz, and Granderson are going to get.

And at 2 years, what else are they going to do? They suck, there's not much coming up through the system to take his place, and they're not getting committed to a lot of money (relatively speaking).

Like I said - it's not great, it's also not terrible.

Also, apparently Chooch got offered 2yrs/20M. Now THAT is highway robbery.

Wouldn't be surprised of this is Ruben bidding against himself.

Yeah, I have no idea. I think the problem here is it being conceived as "brown-for-bats". I have a feeling there's some validity to it but that's more than just Brown going.

mostly being shot down up here ...

But by Wednesday morning the rumour was already being played down.

“just to clear something up,” CBS Sports baseball columnist Jon Heyman tweeted before 7 a.m. “#blueJays arent trading jose bautista for dom brown. not even close.”

Blue Jays GM Alex Anthopoulos never comments publicly on rumours, but a source close to the team told the Star on Wednesday morning there’s little to the rumour.

Yeah, it's probably all BS, but who knows. I'm just trying to pretend that things are gonna get better before they get (any) worse.

The Fixer

Yours truly will be sitting courtside tonight watching towson beat temples' ass.

Amaro is so bad. Only good thing about the byrd move is that he didn't surrender a draft pick. Other than that, it's just another stupid move by the worst GM in philadelphia sports history

Apparently the Phils might be the team that offered Chooch 2yrs/20M. Jesus fucking god damn christ. I think I know where Amaro lives....might have to make a visit...
