    Well since Howard will be a FA after the 3 years, I'm not going to try to read into Monty's comments. He's stating fact: Howard will be a Phillie for the next 3 years guaranteed... unless the Phils trade him.

    We'll see what his numbers are over the next 3 years... as stated many times in these threads, his numbers have slipped (BA, OBS) while strikeouts have gone up.

    I find that interesting since Howard is a free agent in 2 seasons. He has this year and then next year is his last year of arbitration and then he becomes a free agent after the 2010 season. To keep him for three years, the Phils would probably have to make a 3 year 54-60 mil dollar deal with him.

    great to see the big guy signed. They've even mentioned Ryan has been in in Florida working on defense. Hopefully practicing that throw from 1st to 2nd. Amaro did a great job getting everyone signed before camp.

    good deal for both sides.. although I think the Phils probably make out better in this deal.

    I was glancing at the paper on the floor the other day, looking at a picture of what I thought was Ryan Howard and Chase Utley. Upon closer review, I realized it wasn't Chase, it was Brett Myers. I couldn't believe it. He has really slimmed down. As much as I think Myers is a jerk, you got to love the effort he's made in the off season.
    Don't come closer or I'll have to go

    I know, but he claims it has nothing to do with that. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt, but I'm easy that way. :)

    I don't. He knows he's making 12.5 mil this year and he knows if he's going to be making that next year, he's going to have to win at least 15 games for the first time in his career.

    quite honestly, I don't care what his motives are, if he's going to win 15+ games for us, it works for me

    But the question remains........

    Who would win?

    Our World Champion 2008 Phillies or the 1993 NL Championship team that we all know and love.
