PHILLIES SIGN RYAN HOWARD TO $125M EXTENSION

Howard has nothing to do with the Phillies not rebuilding their farm system. This is just a stat nerd, cop-out answer. Yes it was a bad contract we get it...But it did not cripple the franchise the way Ruben was handing out prospects and getting raped in deals (aka Cliff Lee to Seattle)

He said since when.........my answer is accurate. They haven't been better than .500 since the extension kicked in...and Howard is hitting .242/.307/.444 over the same period.....

I wasn't trying to explain the totality of their ineptitude....otherwise I would've just posted a picture of Ruben Amaro

Amaro is by far the biggest faggit in sports. It's like the universe gifts him lucky breaks and he goes and fukks it up

That Ryan Howars contract was god awful

But luckily was able to trade for Lee and Halladay.
Traded away lee and that asshat still came back for less money than other teams were offering

Traded away every single prospect and then kept resigning aging players like Rollins :mindblown:
You just opened up a can of worms, brotha.

I will be back in the morning - after the draft tonight - to discuss more in depth, trust me.

Short version, though:
  • Rueben destroyed our window of opportunity
  • Bullpen is shytty
  • Farm system is gay

Damn at this. Tell me more.

Well consider me someone who'd rather look at the whole picture than post stats of someone who was hurt for damn near two seasons, after having no injury history to speak of.

Wait....are you attempting to defend the contract?

It was a terrible contract the second it was signed.

No shyt it was, considering the fact Ruben was negotiating with himself. The actual problem started when Ruben traded Cliff Lee for no goddamn reason for pennies on the dollar. Forget the 102 wins in 2011, the problem was brewing then and everyone knew it was going to come to where we're at today.

All Phillies fans knew this coming into the year. Amaro thought he could win with these older players and negated farm development in the process.
I didn't even know their were Phillies fans on here but this. We haven't had a farm in a minute if you think about it. Last time our farm was really good was all these old dudes on this team now for the most part

Add our garbage farm system to this and that pretty much explains it all. I'm pretty sure every Phillies fan expected this this year anyway

Its a bad contract in hindsight but everybody got a Delorean nowadays I see. If dude would have kept up his early numbers he would have got way more than that on the open market and dude would've been bytching. Must be some 610 type wishy washy dudes on here lol
