Phillies should trade for Dexter Fowler.

[Caligula]

Exactly, look at the Red Sox this year - here's their lineup and rotation:

C - Jarrod Saltalamacchia - Via Trade(I think), David Ross(FA signing)
1B - Mike Napoli - FA signing
2B - Dustin Pedroia - Drafted By Red Sox
SS - Stephen Drew - FA Signing
3B - Will Middlebrooks/Xander Boegarts - Drafted By Red Sox
CF - Jacoby Ellsbury - Drafted By Red Sox
RF - Shane Victorino - FA Signing
LF - Jonny Gomes - FA Signing
DH - David Ortiz - FA Signing(long time ago)

Rotation
Jon Lester - Drafted By Red Sox
John Lackey - FA Signing
Jake Peavy - Via Trade
Clay Buchholz - Drafted By Red Sox

Also, Koji was brought in as an FA and he was dominant for them

Only 5-6 of these guys were home grown by the Sox - the reason they got back on track was because of those free agent signings - they brought in the right FA's to lead the team back to where they needed to be

The Sox should also thank the Dodgers for being dumb enough to take on all of those shitty contracts. The Sox couldn't have won the World Series without the Dodgers.

Btw sorry I touched a nerve. You seem upset.

I think your boyfriend touched a nerve in your anus last night.

Are you that new stat guy the front office has been touting the last month or so?

Guys, guys, focus on the farm system like the DBack so the Phillies can play .500 ball!

Never meant for it to come across as trash talk. Was not my intention. Sorry you took it so personally. Besides the only reason you didn't come in last was because Miami was in your division. So .500 ball would actually be a dramatic improvement.

 

[Caligula]

Yes, clearly you weren't taking shots...

Name a team that has a fan base that doesn't think/hope they sign or trade for big name players?

Yeah, the Sox traded for Salty in 2010.
