Phillies Pitching Rotation 2010:

Roy Halladay
Cole Hamels
Roy Oswalt
Joe Blanton
JA Happ

Watch...something tells me hes in pinstripes this year

So the Phillies wouldn't pay Cliff Lee $9 mil but they will pay Oswalt $15mil?

No...I think its gonna be a deadline trade..Astros will eat most of the money...I dont know why but I feel an Ed Wade / Ruben Amaro deal coming

Even if they pay some of his salary this year, he is still owed $32 mil over the final 2 years of his contract (one of those is a club option), they are not eating that much. There is more of a chance at the Phillies getting Lee back at the deadline on the cheap than this. Especially with the Phillies payroll issues the next couple years.


Edit to add: This is the best site in the world for baseball contracts

No chance in hell of happening. I think the fans would kill Ruben if he traded for a declining high salary pitcher when u had a top- 5 pitcher u just let go.

YES. YES, YES, AND YES.

working on getting tickets to said opening day game....

Dudes, we're talking about opening day as in season opener in DC right? Because Doc probably won't be on the mound come the Phils' home opener. Looking the way it sets up to be Cole.

But if you're talking about the season opener, then GET ON IT! Got my package for $69 - bus to and fro, beer on bus, tailgate, Phils ticket, boom. Do it. I know philsfever.com and philliesnation.com are still selling packages I believe.

FACT - there will be more Phillies fans than Nats fans in DC on April 5th.

no i am talking about opening day in dc.

not doing that package though. my buddy became a double agent nats fan to get tix before they go on sale to general public. i think all you have to do is sign up on their website or something.

one of my brothers goes to au down there, so i may make it a long weekend of debauchery in the district......then phils opener followed by, of course, watching those crafty villanova wildcats winning this city's 2nd championship in a couple years--GO CATS!

Have that parade up on the Main Line and keep it out of my city!

CATS LOSE! CATS LOSE!

If I see one more gdmf'ing snowflake I'm going to scream!!

I'm so excited for baseball to start. I just arranged all my little Phillies memorabilia on my desk, all ready for the 2010 season. My troll is looking especially happy today. :P

Fenway anybody????? weekend series... along with USA vs England that saturday

US vs. England in soccer? If so, forget it.

I'm trying to make this series work as it's at the perfect time to go up there.

All baseball that weekend is irrelevant to me. The World Cup only comes every 4 years and that is a huge game for the US. Then again, the Yankees are playing the Astros and I already sold my tickets, one saturday game I will have to miss. No biggie.

I meant it would be cool to catch the game at a pub up in Boston. Phillies & Sox fans would be cheering the same side for at least 90min. I'm with ya Cliffy, this game is fucking huge for the USA, and there is no way I would miss it. Are you going to all 3 games JP? The Phils have a 4:10 start on Saturday. Wonder when US vs England kicks off?

Perfect timing for you. The US match is at 1:30 here.

You see the US is playing their final game before the World Cup at the Linc on May 29th? Stinks I am definitely going to be in New York that weekend. 99% sure about this, saw it on Philly.com yesterday but can't find it again and it is not on their schedule.
