Heath Bell i'm reading and hearing we have interest in. How in the world could get steal him without adding his salary? If we can't afford more then 2.5-3.5 million for a bat, how could we get him? Is there a way SD would pay his salary?

Take it easy. They're full of shit about the "no more money" thing. 179 straight sellouts. They got the cash.
This team has to do everything it can to bring home another parade this year.

I wouldn't go getting Bell if I need a bat first and foremost. They've had enough in-house guys stepping up, plus, like people said, I'd rather check out more in-house options first.

If your right Johnny then i agree go get'em. But i agree that a bat is more important right now. The #1 thing this team should do is lock up Hamels. Then go from there imo.
Stutes/Bastardo/Bell/Madson is a sick lock-down bullpen. You really don't need much offense with that pitching staff.

Stutes/Bastardo/Bell/Madson is a sick lock-down bullpen. You really don't need much offense with that pitching staff.
Yeah, but still need to score runs to win - pitching isn't going to help with that. Plus, how many times would need all of them when Halladay/Hamels/Lee are going out there? And, they're not just going to forget about Lidge and his salary.
Stutes/Bastardo/Bell/Madson is a sick lock-down bullpen. You really don't need much offense with that pitching staff.
Bells making 7.5 this year i'd figure he's owed around 3.5 more this year. And he's a free agent if you get Bell i'd hope it's not for just this season. Meaning what to u do then sign him or Madson? Do you go with who ever's cheaper?

Lidge's salary goes away after this year so i think they'd forget about him pretty easy if they got Bell. Lidge would be no more then a 7th maybe a 8th inning guy when healthy.
Madson will definitely be cheaper, and Bell I think is a Type-A, so you let him walk and take the picks. First order of business at the end of the year is whether to re-sign Jimmy or not, then Madson, then Hamels. It's either extend Hamels now or wait till the end of the season, with the first part being an obviously better move.
The fact is Lidge's money IS on the payroll, so why would they pay EXTRA for a setup guy when you know whole-heartedly they want to get as much out of Lidge as possible.

Hamels,the closer spot,then Rollins would be my order of importance. I'm not sure who would be cheaper only cause Boras is madson's agent. But a bat would be my first order of business.
Yeah, I'm talking off-season moves. Doesn't matter how much Boras pumps Madson up, he doesn't have the numbers(read: the overrated 'save' statistic) to garner as much money as either of them think he's worth. Madson will be a Phillie. Whether they pay Hamels this offseason or next, there's no way Cole isn't here. And for these two reasons is why Jimmy is first on the list, followed by Madson. The dearth of shortstops this offseason will make Reyes overpaid, subsequently putting Rollins in a sweet spot for a payoff. They should be able to afford all three, and they most likely will pay all three.
I was talking about this on Saturday with a couple friends. If I were Hamels, no shot I take a 5 year $100 million deal.
He's 27 right now and will be 28 next year, meaning his first free agent year will be his 29 year old season. If he does that, it will be taking him through is 33 year old season at $20 million per. Then at 33, god knows what he will be looking at, depends on what he does but who knows what kind of contract he will be getting.
Dude is pretty much the best pitcher in baseball right now. If he hits free agency, he will be looking at at least a 7 year deal in the $23 million range.
If he wants to stay in Philly then maybe he'll take it, but that would be a big discount. CC was 29 when he signed his 7 year/$161 million deal
The Verlander situation is a little different because it bought out 2 years or arbitration. Hamels has nothing to lose pitching one more season and hitting the market where as Verlander would have been taking a little bigger risk.
The AL has Yankees center fielder Curtis Granderson leading off, followed by Cleveland shortstop Asdrubal Cabrera, Boston first baseman Adrian Gonzalez, Toronto right fielder Jose Bautista, Texas left fielder Josh Hamilton, Rangers third baseman Adrian Beltre, Boston designated hitter David Ortiz, Yankees second baseman Robinson Cano and Detroit catcher Alex Avila.

I don't have any idea why you would be so confident in this. If he becomes a FA, all bets are off. Also, I'd say he's one of Phila's most unappreciated athletes. :roll:

I agree about Madson but with Boras it only takes one team like Wash did with Werth for him to leave. The longer Hamels pitches this good the higher his salary goes,that's why i'd try and lock him up asap. 5-100 imo would get him signed now. Would u pay Jimmy what he thinks he's worth? Cause i sure wouldn't pay him over 13 a year at no longer then 3yrs. He said yesterday he won't be giving a home town discount and to me that's a sign he's leaving.

Like I said in my thinking above, I don't think 5/100 gets it done and especially not with what a much older Cliff Lee got and what CC got/is going to get. There is no incentive for him taking that deal.
