    Honestly, I'd take Blanton over Burnett, no doubt.

    I dont really feel like reading back through all this but I read this morning that if all goes Lees way, he will get paid more than the Yankees offered. Yankees offered more guaranteed money, he has potential for more from what I understand.

    Yeah, but I'm assuming that has something to do with that 6th year, which I don't think he reaches.

    Yeah, definitely but I believe I read the vesting option is not incredibly difficult for him to attain, and it is for some obscene amount of money. I could be wrong, but I know that I read if he makes the 6th year, he will make more. Good for the Phillies.

    Bottom line is, for all the talk of Lee "taking less" the Phils really brought it.

    Never been so excited to watch DNL Live.

    On a totally separate note...I have a 3rd interview tomorrow down in richmond. Sales territory would be DC and Baltimore, so I may be moving. I hate baltimore, but this would be a job I can't turn down.

    Thanks. DC is great, Baltimore is not. We'll see. After college I couldn't wait to get out of the Beltway. Gotta get the offer before I worry about it.

    Anyway, there's a chance that I will have lots of Phils tickets available for the people

    No, my wife works for Pfizer. I'm in medical equipment/supplies (I've had jobs selling both). I love being in sales

    Good luck with the interview, dude. I did the sales thing for a minute. Not for me. Involved in new business pitches now for my company but it's much much different.

    I don't disagree. Like I said to JP, Good for the Phillies.

    Thanks all. Love med sales. Lots of perks. Money is good and best of all you get to make your own schedule and be out and about. No two days are ever the same.

    No job is for everyone, but I'm super competitive (some of my buddies would say to a fault) and money motivated. It's a good fit for me.

    Over/under on wins is 96. Usually I'd take the under, but after winning 97 with a shambled team last season, I gotta like the over.
