The Phils should go balls out for somebody. They're a large market team with a nice new stadium and should start acting like it.

Jason Moyer · 08-29-2007, 08:19 AM

I'd certainly be happy if they signed him.

Gastric ReFlux · 08-29-2007, 09:55 AM

Ryan Howard, Chase Utley, Jimmy Rollins and Alex Rodriguez. That would be an infield all right.

Erich Ingram · 08-29-2007, 03:07 PM

Yeah and imagine the number of homers ARod would hit in Philly with what he is doing in a ball park now that is definitely not made for right handed power. We could see Bonds' records drop very quickly.

Someone should dig up win shares for those 4 for either 07 or 06 and see how they'd fare in James' ranking of the greatest infields (Ken Boyer comment, NHBBA). I'm guessing the $100,000 infield would be sat down pretty badly.

Jason Moyer · 08-29-2007, 05:28 PM

An infield of the 2006 versions of those 4 players would look like this, win share wise:

Howard 31
Utley 28
Rollins 26
Rodriguez 25

That's a total of 110 WS, which would be the 9th best infield of all time (behind the 75 Reds and ahead of the 46 Cardinals). The 1914 A's totalled 119, which is ridiculous. It's probably worth keeping in mind that A Rod had an off year tho, and if he put up an MVP-type 35 win share season with everyone else performing the same, they'd take the top spot.

Good googlymoogly. Up 5-0 in the bottom of the 3rd.

The Marlins should trade the farm for Albert Pujos so they can claim they have the best infield in baseball. Even if Phillis got Alex Rodriquez.

I would think that Rodriguez would want to move back to SS.

Garcia's officially done for the year.

Jason Moyer · 08-30-2007, 05:27 PM

Obviously, Manuel is trying to set up a dramatic ending here.

Jason Moyer · 08-30-2007, 05:31 PM

It's the 8th inning of a 1 run game. I THINK I'LL BRING IN JOSE MESA HERE.

My god.

Jason Moyer · 08-30-2007, 05:46 PM

Awesome. Pat Burrell homers. Instead of tying the game late or giving/padding the lead, it makes the score 9-10.

Maybe Manuel can bring in his second worst reliever for the 9th, so the Phillies have even less of a chance of pulling this one out.

Gastric ReFlux · 08-30-2007, 05:50 PM

Oh how I hate intentional walks.

Gastric ReFlux · 08-30-2007, 06:02 PM

Oh man, Iguchi was such a steal at the trade deadline, it was a good thing that Utley got hurt almost.

The Professor · 08-30-2007, 06:02 PM

Wow. This game is something else.

The Professor · 08-30-2007, 06:03 PM

Sakes alive, the Phils are going to "steal" this one from the Mets!

Gastric ReFlux · 08-30-2007, 06:09 PM

Wow. :crazyeyes:

The Professor · 08-30-2007, 06:09 PM

Wow. Wow. Way to go Phils!
