Makes sense. MLBTR didn't have that one posted. Gonna take a big number though, will be really interesting. There's a huge number waiting for him in 30 or so starts. I'm not even all that optimistic that the Yankees would sign him even if he did get there next year, lot's of big market teams would be in the running for him. Yankees, Boston, Cubs and Nationals, for sure. Marlins maybe, Angels maybe. Dodgers could go big if the new ownership is in place.
I'm a lot less desperate for the Yanks to get big time pitching after Friday's trade too.
I'd say more than the Weaver deal. I think a 5 yr 90 or 95 will do it.
I think Hamels will (should) laugh at anything under $100. The Weaver deal is a bargain. I can't see how you can get under $20mil AAV. How can it not match Lee's deal considering age and what the market will be for him?
Will be interesting to see what happens, especially if Cain signs before him.
Edit: And when the Phillies are paying well above market for closers, I would imagine Hamels will certainly want what he deserves

This is true. But it's Weaver's fault - not Papelbon's - for what has been earmarked as the price for a pitcher his age and with similar stats.
Either way, if that's the case, I'm sure 5 for 100 wouldn't be hard to do. I don't see why this won't get done the more I think about it. If there's one guy deserving than anyone on this roster for that kind of money is Hamels. Looks like they might go to arbitration with Pence. I'm sure things like this - or possibly an extension with Hunter - will have to be looked as well to determine what the overall numbers will be for the entire roster. Like I said - I'm sticking by my words that it'll get done.
Just saw Halladay at Bonefish Grill in Newtown Square. We were sitting at a high top table in the bar area. The guys sitting at the end of our table work there and said he's there all the time.
I had a plan to kidnap one of his sons, but the wife wouldn't let it happen. damn her
Nice. That's the same shopping center where Iget my hair cut. And why you ask? Of course that's where Roy gets his hair cut that's why.
I've gotten bombed at that sports bar a few times. Not a bad spot to watch games
I might have to start going to get my hair cut there too. And I see more meals at bonefish...especially on phils off days
for a chain....bonefish isn't too bad. we didn't see anybody interesting....well, except for the couple looking to swing.
i just heard about this :( I'll miss him. I guess with all the Joe Pa talk i didn't hear it. He'll be missed. Say hi to Harry and Whitey.

Boom. Just booked a trip to Seattle and the San Juan Islands to kayak with killer whales.

your boy aumont is on this phils hot stove show right now with salisbury.
i was expecting a thicker accent.
hopefully he continues to improve this year.
Ha. Beat me to it. Hopefully he improves indeed.
for a chain....bonefish isn't too bad. we didn't see anybody interesting....well, except for the couple looking to swing.
Why can't Andy Musser, Richie Ashburn, and Harry Kalas all be allowed to rise from the dead in exchange for McCarthy and Wheels?
musser was always so understated in his delivery. always think of kent tekulve and sports channel anytime i hear musser's name these days.
kayaking with killer whales huh? that sounds awesome
Yeah, man, looks like a wild time.
