    Best way to build a pen. See what you have and make adjustments as needed. Easiest pieces to pick up, I think.

    Yup, and just use the arms you've been developing in your system, instead of overpaying for overrated free agents (cough cough, Soriano :lol: ).

    I don't agree with that signing. It's a terrible contract. Not going to complain about having him in the pen but I hate the contract and agree with Cashman.

    ibanez now has a higher average than francisco. :roll: :lol:

    credit to charlie for sticking with him. think it's about time for people to realize francisco's not an every day player though. i was never sold on him in that role. hopefully we bring the dominator up and just plant him in right and let him sink or swim.

    i'd like to see them platoon francisco and raul in left. mix in mayberry every now and then too.

    neither one has been good. I'd give francisco another month. It's still early. One hot week and he's up around 290. He's getting on base, he's just not hitting right now.

    Dominator :shock: . That makes R6 sound good

    I'd play mayberry in RF. At Lehigh Valley

    eh, i think francisco is what he is. gotta be a reason why he's never been an every day player before.

    he's only 29. I'd give him more than 6 weeks. They need the RH stick and the other options aren't any better.

    yep. they know they need to upgrade the corner spots if things don't change. like you said, they're winning so they can be patient with brown and francisco.

    jurrjens tomorrow. phils never seen to hit him. he's up there with alexi kovalev, brian mccann, and plaxico burress on the list of philly killers.

    I would like to personally thank the Phillies players for allowing Ryan Howard to be dependent enough on them for Ryan to dominate tonight's game offensively. we all know that Ryan only does what he does because of his teammates, so thank you guys. lets do the same saturday and sunday :)
