Posted December 9, 200321 yr Say we sign Vlad and have a Castro/Redmond duo behind the plate, I think that puts us as one of the best in the NL and one of the favorites for the East. But there is a problem brewing in Philly. We know they have the offense to put the runs on the board, now they are starting to copy our plan for success. The Phillies are close to signing reliever Ugeth Urbina. Now that would give them one heck of a combo with him and Wagner. I dont think there rotation is better than ours, but if they have the lead heading to the eighth, its basically lights out for them. I just hope we can sign Lopez or Vlad, give us some more pop in the lineup so when we face those Phillies, we cant give them a chance to get to those killers.
December 9, 200321 yr I haven't heard anything about them signing Urbina. After Milton they have virtually no money left to spend, and Urbina wants to go to the Mets, and it looks like the Mets want him there too. Urbina won't sign with the Phillies to be a set-up man.
December 9, 200321 yr The Phils signed Worrell - a pretty solid move. He and Wagner give them a damn good back end of the pen. I just wonder about durability. We need to get someone to assume the closers role. It is not imperative to sign a big name guy, just make sure we have someone to get the job done. The Marlins have a pretty good history with relievers though...Harvey, Nen, Mantei...I think we need to get something done here. Fox should be a very good set up man.

I agree, we better do something soon. I believe we are ONE signing away to have the bullpen pretty much set
December 9, 200321 yr until further notice, the Braves are the biggest threat THEY DONT LOSE we don't lose either, once we are in the postseason
December 9, 200321 yr until further notice, the Braves are the biggest threat THEY DONT LOSE ......until postseason anyway For all I care, we can go into the postseason as the Wild Card...as long as we are in the postseason. Although it would be nice to have homefield for once :mischief2
December 9, 200321 yr boy imagine what the FIsh could do with Philly's payroll. We spent like 50 mil and got a championship imagine what we could do with more...

December 10, 200321 yr Philledalphia lost Kevin Millwood already. They are doomed, even with Wagner in the Pen.

December 10, 200321 yr The Phillies are the Phillies, same issues won't disappear with money nor with a bullpen. Pitching at the start of the game is in even lower supply now than it was in 2003.
December 10, 200321 yr Millwood wasn't exactly cy young material last year. In fact almost every time we played the phillies and he pitched we lit him up.
December 10, 200321 yr i know lololol puh leaze dood Get a life!. The guy can't even spell dude. Stop lying about going to Yale, I am sick of it.
December 10, 200321 yr Phillies haven't really become a team that scares me too much. I'll admit that Wagner/Worrell is a lot scarier than Mesa/Williams, but those guys are only useful with a lead. Until they get that 1 additional impact bat to go along with Abreu and Thome, we're right in it with them.

December 10, 200321 yr They also have Marlon Byrd who is pretty good. They are the team that scares me the most, and they probably will still get to sign Milwood. Is being reported he's likely to sign the offer they gave him sunday.

Is being reported he's likely to sign the offer they gave him sunday. The only offer they gave him was arbitration. He's still shopping himself around, and he's obviously waiting to see what happens with Pettitte; if the Yankees don't get Pettitte, Milwood's going to be a Yankee in all likelihood.
December 10, 200321 yr If we sign Vlad Guerrero, it's not just a possibility that we'll be the favorite to win the east, in would be enevitable.
