Best hitting pitchers in all of baseball. New strategy for the playoffs, fielders pitch and pitchers hit.
seriously. he will be their best bat off the bench
I'm ok with the move as long as he doesn't go anywhere near the rotation. they were desperate for LH bullpen help. love RPs on one year deals (ie, the opposite of what they did with papelturd)
so the best move of this offseason was signing dontrelle willis. YAY!!

Like the move. Extremely cost effective with not a lot of downside since you're getting him for a bargain, is worth a shot using him in LOOGY-type situations(even though this is a major part of Manuel being an idiot - though, I won't put it all on him since he has at least a pitching coach who should be advising him otherwise), plus has decent speed for a pinch-run spot if you desperately needed him, absolutely rakes as a pitcher, and could possibly fill in for a spot-start since you need anywhere up to 9 starters over the course of a season. His numbers were sick against lefties. Now, we just gotta hope that management uses him solely in that role.

hard to believe we all agree on something. i'm a fan of this also. who knows, maybe he completely reinvents himself as a lefty beast out of the pen for the rest of his career. cost effective and the dude's still just 30 years old.

when I saw the lowrie trade I thought that it made absolutely no sense for boston. signing rollins would justify the lowrie move (somewhat, it's still a perplexing move for boston).
I really hope amaro knows what he's doing with this rollins contract. now that the FA market for IFs has dried up, the phils would be left with someone like yuneski betancourt, who might be the worst player in all of MLB.
the offseason has been so bad that I'm hoping they keep the inept lineup intact. funny. and incredibly frustrating.
I'm gonna have to be the lone voice of dissent (so I can't be accused of "not having any opinions"). I just have a terrible feeling we're going to be stuck watching Dontrelle in some crucial situation walking in runners left and right. If he really is used as a LOOGY then it will probably work out well, but I have no confidence that he will actually be used that way.

I think willis blows too. I like the move because it only costs them a million bucks...and it's only 1 year (about time amaro realized one year deals for RPs is the way to go)...and I'm still not sold on bastardo...and they need more than one lefty RP...
As for how he's used...I'll just say I'd have a lot more confidence if a certain HOF 2nd baseman that the phils once traded away was calling the shots
I hope they make willis beat out diekman and savery in spring training. don't just give him a roster spot

yep. apparently they outsourced their ticket purchasing process to a 3rd party. then the same thing happened, the site kept crashing.
the email said they think it's an outside source that is throwing a wrench in the process....they are working with the 3rd party company to re-evalute their re-evaluation.
the pre-sale is off for the europe shows. all of the 10 club tix got tossed into the public sale. that really sucks for those people.
Jesus, that's brutal. What's the point in having a membership for people over there?
Complete bullshit.
I know Anchor changes their Christmas Beer recipe every year, so I'll have to give it another shot. I couldn't finish the six pack - I think it was 2 years ago.
I did one beer advocate review, but yeah I'm not that far into it.

Yeah, I saw they are going to have a Nicks Roast beef which is great, and Chickies, and a bunch of other local stuff but then they have shit like the NBC Sports Bar or whatever it is, and a Tex Mex place. Its like they are building a mall and trying to make it local by throwing in a Nicks. Guess I'll have to reserve judgement untilI see it but seems really cheesy.

Yeah, I didn't realize that that was Victory, what I read didn't say that. That will be very cool. But aside from a food court that is pretty much the only local thing?
Professional Bull Riders? NBC Sports Bar?
I think the places are worse than I expected, aside from the few good ones mentioned.

seriously. he will be their best bat off the bench
I'm ok with the move as long as he doesn't go anywhere near the rotation. they were desperate for LH bullpen help. love RPs on one year deals (ie, the opposite of what they did with papelturd)
so the best move of this offseason was signing dontrelle willis. YAY!!
