@mr baseball: He's either dyeing his stache or writing his article for tomorrow. Or both.

@mr baseball: Its the aging Santana and his 4 geezer drummers. They may have a singer too, I dunno.

@mr baseball: Gotta say tho, Id like him a lot more if he weren't on the Maryners.

Justin Smoak – someone dropped him late in the season in my 20 team fantasy league so I took a shot and added to my team just in case you wrote an article that he was a Fantasy Sleeper Grey

@EDUB: 3rd one's tough. I guess Liriano. Ethier and Rios you can replace in the draft without much of a sweat.

@mr baseball: Worse yet, expect Reyes to be traded next season, either during or after. New York Inepts strike again.

At 5:00pm was listening to the Mets GM stating that he things he could with some luck compete with The Philles – He stated that the Mets don’t need to sign any free agents to compete

@Elijah: Thanks

With Stanton and Price, roster would be (minus 1):

Fielder
Pedroia
Arod
Hanley
Crawford
Stanton

Felix, Ubaldo, Price

Roy Halladay, Cliff Lee, Cole Hamels and Roy Oswalt

@EDUB: Just my 2 cents, but Id say Price, Stanton, and whoever fits your needs most 3rd.

@big o: Yeah I know, was just teasin ya. I actually think it would be too much to compare this group with that one...yet. Lets see em beat the 93 Braves first. (and I doubt they can)

By: EDUB

EDUB — Tue, 14 Dec 2010 05:36:06 +0000

@Grey: So who would you keep as last 3 keepers out of Ethier, Rios, Price, Liriano, and Stanton. Thanks

Initial reports are Lee left $50 million on the table to sign with Philly over NYY. Talk about yanking their chains…

No question this is the best rotation since Maddox, Glavine, Smoltz, Milwood.

@Elijah: Stanton better hit 94 HR next season.

By: Elijah

@Eddy: If there's a silver lining, its that the Phillies are likely gonna have to bribe people with prospects to take Blanton or Ibenez off their hands. Maybe in 3-4 years the Marlins can contend.

I can’t say I’m dissapointed the Yanks got hoodwinked this offseason. At least they were smart enough to sign Jeter for $50 mil. *cough*

By: Eddy

Eddy — Tue, 14 Dec 2010 05:15:56 +0000

Wow.

The red sox and the phillies both got absolutely STACKED this offseason.

Shit.

My poor Marlins just got ‘effed.

According to T.R. Sullivan of MLB.com, the Rangers have been told that Cliff Lee is signing with the Phillies.

Seems like the real deal.

@Steve: Really? That's good for his value.

@big o: Ha @EDUB: It's too much.

It’s the Phillies. For real this time.

By: EDUB

I agree with Grey. If Lee was going to sign with Yanks I think he would have done so already. He has to know that’s the biggest contract he would get so if it’s about money he would have taken it by now.

Too much for AGon and Bruce in keeper (hopefully along with a reasonable pick)? I give Price, Liriano, Stanton, and Ethier/(or)Rios. I can only keep 3 out those 4 without going over keeper limit. We keep 10. Keepers after the deal would be :

1b Fielder
2b Pedroia
3b Arod
ss Hanley
Of Crawford
Of Bruce
Of Ethier/Rios (whichever isn’t in deal)
Util A Gonzalez

Sp: Felix, U Jimenez
