Cliff Lee is a Phillies!!! We did it!

Eskin "reads article from online about possible trade and repeats it on air"

"Giants looking at Sanchez?"

"Who else can get Halladay?"

"Angeles want Halladay right?"

"What about the Dodgers, they need pitching?"

"Giants need pitching cause of Johnson right?"

Remember when the best Lee we could get back in a trade was Travis Lee?

This is such an amazing time to be a Phillies fan. :-D

If Cliff's middle name was Phil he would be a god

Eskin is just embarrassing. Keeps whining that the Phillies "didn't do what's best for the franchise over the next two years". Doesn't care about prospects. "Before Cole Hamels, the Phillies had never developed a two time all star pitcher" (some nonsense guage of quality he came up with).

He's aware Halladay might still NOT be traded right? Why am I even asking? Of course he doesn't.

why would Heyman even talk to Eskin

Howard Eskin doesn't even know who Knapp is.

Why does he keep talking?

stark says he thinks happ's going to the pen

by **Trent Steele** » Wed Jul 29, 2009 16:41:08

Stark says he thinks Happ will go to the bulpen and Pedro will start. He's fucking nuts.

by **FTN** » Wed Jul 29, 2009 16:41:34

Stark just said he doesn't think Pedro goes to the bullpen.

In essence, we got the reigning AL Cy Young winner and a useful RH bat off the bench for 4 prospects that Keith Law can't stand.

SQUIRE

He is absolutely pathetic. Now prattling off a list of busts the Phillies have had over the past 40 years, and saying that's why Drabek, Happ, etc. should be traded.

Stark on 950........

-They were getting nowhere with Toronto.....if anything it was getting worse

-Deal was a slam dunk for the Phils to make

-No assurance they were ever going to get Halladay no matter how long they held out

-There was no indication whatsoever that the price from Toronto was coming down...........BJ's ownership actually started asking for more as the negotiations went on.........decision was taken out of the hands of the baseball people

-Jays absolutely wouldn't move off of Drabek and Brown

-Stark wanted Halladay, but when the alternative is this good, you have to make the deal

-Cleveland has money issues.......they needed to move money off the payroll. Cleveland liked Knapp more than anyone in the entire Phillies system. Stark said as he matures he could possibly throw 100+

-Most scouts like Donald and Marson as everyday players

-Stark thinks Halladay goes to the Sox if they offer Buchholz.

-STARK SAID THERE'S A REAL POSSIBILITY THAT RICCARDI COULD TRADE HALLADAY TO THE SOX, GET FIRED, THEN GO TO WORK FOR THE SOX

-Stark said Pedro is here to be a starter..........he said he thinks Happ is going to the bullpen.

-Putting Pedro in the pen is asking for trouble after they signed him to start

-Reiterates, FROM WHAT HE HEARD TODAY, HAPP IS GOING TO THE BULLPEN when Pedro is ready

lol stark with the creepy chuckle

Could we trade Happ for some bullpen help or something?

Happ's probably better from the pen than any bullpen help we could get for him.

Depends what is out there.

I'd take Heath Bell for Happ, tbh
