It wouldn't be horrible if the Phillies were picking up most of the salary.
This off season has been a bust. We needed real pitching help, 2 corner OF and a DH. We are now looking at scraps that consist of Howard, Byrd and others. Give me a flippin break DD. Get your arse in gear and improve this team because in case you haven't noticed, the Yankees, Blue Jays and Red Sox have dramatically improved theirs. I fully expect us to compete with TB for last in the AL East next season.
Roch is saying that when the O's approached the Phillies about Byrd, the Phillies would move Byrd only if Howard was in the deal as well. Thankfully DD didn't bite.
Only way I'd listen about including Howard is if the Phillies ate about $40 million or so of his contract.
... or maybe if they're willing to take Jimenez. :rollseyes:
(Then again, I'm not sure if this is a good idea even for a "bad contract swap"...)
Don't want Byrd!
i don't want to see young , pearce , lough and deaza as regulars . i think davis did a good job in right and i think that is the plan at this time . so we need a rh lf and dh . i think matt will not be a full go so he will dh start of the year .Don't want Rasmus, Aoki, Ichiro, Young or Reimold either.
i think schoop will make a huge leap in 15 . go schoop
