southsider2k5 Posted November 8, 2011 Author Share Posted November 8, 2011 SI_JonHeyman Jon Heyman Seen reports #phillies are pushing to sign madson. He's clearly their big pen target. But do not get sense deal is close yet. jcrasnick Jerry Crasnick Agent Scott Boras, reached by ESPN.com, says the two sides are still "exchanging proposals.'' #Phillies Source tells ESPN.com that #Phillies talks with closer Ryan Madson are "advancing, but not complete.''

Sabathia was their only pitcher to deliver 30 or more starts with an ERA below 5.00. This is really misleading though, since Ivan Nova gave them 28 starts, 165 innings, and a 3.7 ERA in his first full big league season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But this and the ridiculous Howard extension, well, suck. It seems to happen to all teams that become financial powerhouses. Look at the Red Sox with Lackey/Crawford/Drew, the Yankees with all those bad starting Pavano/Brown/Wright/Burnett. It's like teams forget what got them there and they just start throwing money around because they can, not thinking about what they are spending on.
