I'm still so pissed off/disappointed I can't even think about this team right now

Full on boycott mode right now

The way I look at it is that they are both injury prone at this point in their careers. I'd rather have the guy with the higher ceiling. Reyes is undoubtedly a better player now and going forward.

If I was RAJ my first offseason move would have been canning manuel.

I can't wait for the offseason to get going.

i've been going back and forth on Reyes as well but I think you have to at least explore it. the guy is an asbolute stud when healthy and motivated. in the short term i'd love to see him on this team. might drive me insane 5 years down the line but helping this team win next year or the following year would probably be worth it. and if we are going to act like the yankees with our money then you have the sign the best.

and Bodog.com has listed odds to win the World Series next year and the Phils are listed as the favorite once again according to Comcast.

Reyes would be tough if they are really going to keep it at $175 mil with that article Fixer posted saying they have $40 mil for ten positions. That would be a good $15 of it there. Edit: That said, he would add a lot to the Phillies.

Palanco won a gold glove which is well done. good defense is important when you can't score.

Yeah he is defintely better than Rollins. Jimmy has been declining now for a few seasons. Still has good range but not the bat anymore or wheels.

I would Keep Manuel. This year is it though this team flops again in the playoffs I would make a change

Tomorrow it all begins. I would say Madson's gone. Lidge is back at a reduced rate. Raul maybe 1-2 yr deal at lower money. Not sure about Oswalt, I never warmed up to the guy personally. Mayberry I guess at 1B for awhile.

I dont have a list of free agents handy ?

Former Major League baseball player Lenny Dykstra appears in Los Angeles Superior Court for an arraignment in San Fernando, California Reuters

I wasn’t even aware that they let Len Dykstra out of jail, but apparently he’s free on bail because according to this farkakte press release that readers Jonny 5 and Bicepts each brought to my attention, he’s free enough to where he’s going to fight Jose Canseco in one of those ghastly celebrity boxing match things. And when I say “ghastly,” it refers to just how horribly these things mangle the concept of “celebrity.”

Dykstra is a last minute replacement for the guy who got “famous” for crashing the White House party last year with his wife. And then his wife ran off with the guitar player for Journey. And I wish to God that I was (a) making that up; and/or (b) didn’t know it off the top of my head. I need to step away from the Internet.

Anyway, I can’t think of how either Dykstra or Canseco can sink any lower. Don’t get me wrong, they will sink lower, of this I have no doubt. I just can’t think of how they’ll do it.
