TLAK Posted December 2, 2005 Share Posted December 2, 2005 I see the Phillies are going 3 years, $18 million with 38 year old Tom 'Flash' Gordon. Aren't these the same guys who said they let 34 year old Billy Wagner go because they didn't want to give a 4 year deal to that old a player? Me thinks the $ 4 mil annual salary difference has more to do with it than the Phils want to admit to their fans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreatScott82 Posted December 2, 2005 Share Posted December 2, 2005 WOW 6 mill/ year for a setup man? Not even a closer is worth that. Unless he is Mariano Rivera or a 100% healthy Gagne. Whats with the inflation in price for relievers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreatScott82 Posted December 2, 2005 Share Posted December 2, 2005 This means the Yankees will get Farnsworth to replace him. I wonder how much they will over pay him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rowand44 Posted December 2, 2005 Share Posted December 2, 2005 QUOTE(timotime @ Dec 2, 2005 -> 11:17 AM) HUGE mistake Um.. no. Flash has proved time and time again that's he's a very good closer. The 3 year contract is nuts for a 38 year old but he'll be a fine closer for them this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
