    Saw on The 700 Level that the Phils are close to resigning Contreras to a 2 year deal for around 5 mil.

    the last paragraph of the utley analysis sums it up for me. not much to worry about. howard on the other hand...

    8 errors in 24 playoff games is not something to ignore. as for his offense let's hope it's not the hip and he comes back strong next year. this team has played so many games over the 3 years that age may catch up quicker than other teams.

    done deal. apparently one of those asian LH relievers is next.

    also nice to see sandberg brought on to manage LHV. Hopefully he is the heir apparent to the dummy manager

    I was reading that Chuck's got carte blanche until whenever he wants to retire, but that his successor will definitely come from within the organization. You guess it - Mark Parent. ;)

    Yeah, apparently they're looking at the dude from the Mets right, either the Takahashi - or whatever his name is - or, who I would like, Feliciano.

    I don't really know much about those 2 LHs. I think feliciano had a shitty year though. and he's got a lot of mileage on him. I'd be careful with him.

    I'd love to see downs or fuentes, but they might be out of the phils price range

    I know Downs is a Type A, and I never really saw what is so great about him, and what about Fuentes? He's at least a B right? I'd go for that, but don't know if he'd wanna set up instead of having a chance to close again.

    All I know is Feliciano always had our number, especially The Guy With The Hole In His Swing Against Lefties, and has a rubber arm. Maybe he could at least get in #6's ear to let him know how most pitchers work him - if he doesn't know by now.

    I think the phils are more likely to sign a type A guy because they will get extra picks when the Beard leaves. Type B guys don't require forfeiting picks.

    I don't know much about downs, but I think he's a guy that gets RH and LH out. So I don't think he's a specialist per say.

    Fuentes is dirty vs lefties. He's also got closer experience so he could step in if lidge goes down again (though I wouldn't want him as a long term closer).

    we'll see...amaro has been pretty good about giving these pen guys one or two year deals

    My going out on a limb bold statement of the decade in which the city of Philadelphia would become a scene out of "The Warriors" - Eagles win Super Bowl, Flyers win Stanley Cup, Phils win World Series = the World ends.

    you can take feliciano all you want, he sucks. career era of 3.31 and whip of 1.372 is someone i def want.

    And what's wrong with a career 3.31 ERA? All I know is the dude's got a rubber arm and has lead the league - or somewhere there about - the past three years in appearances, has a high K/9 and a low HR/9. That's fine with me.

    the mets throw him out there every game cause he's the only decent reliever they've had in the past 4 years. eventually that arm is gonna go.

    Congrats Doc! No contest on that one.

    Also, spectacular playoff performance (although a little bad luck in Game 1 vs. Giants, it happens).
