jackie hayes Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 QUOTE(iamshack @ Apr 10, 2007 -> 12:53 PM) Well, Kenny has got the technique exactly right in this instance: You don't try to pay the price for a proven relief arm. You either go after someone with a good arm who is still unproven, or someone who cannot put it together for whatever reason. Gillick should take a page out of his book- it's sitting there wide open for the rest of the league to see... Maybe other teams, but not the Phils. Rule #7 of MLB: The Phillies LOVE overpaid, washed-up (ie, "proven") relievers. It's their calling card. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 QUOTE(witesoxfan @ Apr 10, 2007 -> 07:32 PM) the equivalent of the White Sox trading Heath Phillips for a solid reliever. Or, on a higher scale, the White Sox trading Tyler Lumsden and Daniel Cortes for the power arm of Mike MacDougal. Or David Riske for Javier Lopez...that was a good deal for the Sox, even though Riske's not the same pitcher he was 2-3 seasons ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
