They'll probably drop Herndon and use Kendrick as the long man. I have to think Sweeney makes the post-season roster.

Halladay
Hamels
Oswalt
Blanton
Kendrick
Madson
Lidge
Contreras
Romero
Durbin
Bastardo

Ruiz
Schneider
Howard
Utley
Rollins
Polanco
Dobbs
Valdez
Ibanez
Victorino
Werth
Francisco
Gload
Sweeney

There's no way in hell they'll bring 12 pitchers. The 12th guy barely gets used during the season, let alone a playoff series where you only have 4 starters.

And if we get home field, we'll only need 3 starters for the NLDS

That represents Mike Sweeney, can you really say no?

That's one club-able seal

Heyman is Boras' guy FWIW

Perrotto says:

Industry guesstimates are that Phillies right fielder Jayson Werth will wind up getting a contract in the range of five years and $95 million in free agency this upcoming winter, and the Red Sox appear to be at the front of the line to sign him

I always thought Wertz would be a Bawstin kinda guy. Or rather, I always though Bosox fans would want a guy like Wertz to cream over. White, gritty, facial hair.
Either way, I'll miss the guy, but I'd rather use the money toward Cole/Rollins.

by **ReadingPhilly** » Wed Sep 22, 2010 15:12:36

at least it'll be a first rounder

by **Soren** » Wed Sep 22, 2010 15:21:32

Wertz, Youk, Pedraioaia, Lester, Becket. Red Sawx are officially a frat house

i don't think he quite merits the clydesdale though

no. please no more big bucks for the pen.
think about exactly how well that has worked out when its been tried.
you've got the same shot at a decent pen going with guys from the system and contreras/durbin type ex-starters as you do throwing money at the problem.

[Comment From phil]
The Phillies WAR total is a bit deflated by injuries, but if you look at the roster they are sending to the playoffs i'd think you'd have to say they have a pretty formidable offense.
12:34

Dave Cameron: Their offense is good, not great. Howard is overrated, Ibanez is mediocre, Rollins is not healthy and hasn't been an offensive force for a while now... it's more name value than production.
