Is the Phillies' window closed already?

[Dr. Fauci]

“I’m kind of happy,” Amaro said. “Really happy because if I would’ve had to put eight or nine years on Howard’s deal right now, that would be a little disconcerting. Right now we have Howard for the next five years. I kind of like that rather than giving an eight-, nine- or 10-year deal.”




U can look and say "well he got injured!" u dont plan for that... what dont u guys get about that? What was Pujols's contract for? How many years? And no Ryan wouldnt of gotten that many years or that amount of money..but it wouldve been more than 5 years if he went to Free agency


Power hitters like that dont grow on trees. His HR's have been declining...but hes an RBI machine




I dont know...u guys can argue all day, i cant spell this out any better than this

 

[Dr. Fauci]

Well yea thats why your 172mm team is dead last in their division
And it dosent look that much better the next few years

And who is your team? Whoever is winning the division each year?

youre not spelling out anything. they could have planned around the injury, had they not been idiots and extended him 2 years before he got hurt and simply waited for his deal to run out then look at their situation. pujols contract is also absurdly poor, not sure what the comparison is between the 2 god awful contracts

Theres a certain market for Power hitters like that




Prince Fielder signed 10 years for 214 million


but u dont see the pattern here do u

 

[Absolut]

prince fielder >>> ryan howard

 

[Stinky Diver]

Not winning the division for a 6th straight year = short window? Really?

Amaro has made some unforgivable mistakes(papelbon 50mil, Howard 125mil) but don't act like winning the division 5 straight years is something easily done in any division.

 

[Dr. Fauci]

a window with these homegrown guys of Ryan/Chase/Cole and then the starters we brought in


Im going to bed

U guys are fukking stupid...glad ure not running my franchise


Phillies will be relevant for the next 20 years...heaven forbid they have an off year

 

[Dr. Fauci]

prince fielder >>> ryan howard

no shyt

thats why he got 10 years 214

and ryan got 5 years 125


Prince isnt 2X better than Ryan...its the market

thats why we didnt want him to go to free agency...and lose him to some AL team really overpaying him

on that note, the phils got a steal to have a comparable power hitter

 

[Absolut]

he got 9 years. hes also almost 5 years younger than howard

Spin it however helps u out man

if the phillies wanted to keep him at free agency..they woudve paid more for an older version of him


its not a "horrible" contract is the bottom line

it actually make sense the harder u look at it compared to whats going on in the league

 

[HookersandIceCream]

And who is your team? Whoever is winning the division each year?

Well pretty much because I'm a Yankees fan

 

[Absolut]

it makes zero sense. lol @ saying "spin it however you want" when youre the one doing the spinning trying to justify this piece of shyt contract

At a much cheaper rate



No one was going to give him anywhere that much per year
