Brian Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 People who buy Phillies tickets well in advance have an 80% chance of seeing a top tier pitcher. Than a 20% chance of getting to see Blanton. Like when the rotation comes around and I get stuck with Josh Stewart back in the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LittleHurt05 Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 That's nice of the Phillies to include Blanton in the press conference. Easily could have just had the 4 great pitchers and left the bad one at practice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow, that's a bargain if he can replicate his '10 over the duration of the 4 years. He obviously has to stay healthy. That's been his only problem.

Balta1701 Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 New York Yankees general manager Brian Cashman acknowledged that Joba Chamberlain has put on weight but said the team will handle it privately. "He's obviously heavier," Cashman said. "That's as much as I'll say." When asked if he was unhappy with Chamberlain's conditioning, Cashman just said: "He's heavier, which you guys already know." He later said that the team will deal with the situation and "not certainly in the public arena." Link Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
witesoxfan Posted February 17, 2011 Author Share Posted February 17, 2011 That is definitely a situation Williams and company should be monitoring. Joba seems to quickly be wearing thin on Yankees management with the struggles last year as well as the weight this year. And if there is one organization who can help fix talented, overweight relievers with drinking problems, it's the White Sox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah that's a guy I think you wait to extend big. So much of his value was due to a ridiculously high HR/FB that some regression is due. I mean, I genuinely believe that Jose Bautista is a 30+ homer hitter, but I think you want to see him do it again before extending him. I also don't understand the projections for his average being as high as they are. They are projecting 15 fewer HR, the same amount of XBH, and roughly the same amount of K's, and he's going to hit for a similar average? I don't see it. I see him putting up lines similar to Dunn - .240/.350/.500. Great power, good ability to get on base, not so much with regards to the average. Perhaps I'm the one wrong here.

I know this nowhere near as much money, but no thanks to that deal. Maybe they are assuming the Angels will trade for him in 2013. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything that can go wrong for the Mets has gone wrong. It sounds like they are still in a deep financial mess with the whole Madoff situation as well. Anything that effects the passive stability of the shoulder takes a long time. First you need to get it healed, then stretch it out before you can begin much strengthening. Then you need to begin throwing. It is always a pain to get through that extra stretching phase because you need enough mobility to throw but you need to maintain enough tightness to create the stability needed. Threse types of surgeries more than any other can really change the way a pitcher throws. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every year since 2007 he's been at least a positive WAR player, which means he's been worth a couple million. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
