I wish it were that simple. There weren't many (if any) Prince Fielder bidders other than the Tigers, and he got 9/214.

Why would be have to be a corner OF? Much of his value is tied to playing good CF

The whole Phillies/Vic relationship couldn't be weirder.

That would seem to indicate Bourn over Hamilton. Unless they're not really serious about Victorino under any circumstance

Why can't they sign Vic to a Rube Friendly contract and sign Hamilton and play him in LF?

Who's "him"? It should be Hamilton. Is that who we're talking about now?

Or sign Pagan for CF & play Hamilton in LF. Can't see why he wouldn't want to play LF.

I dont like any of the reported scnarios, least of all Hamilton. Really hoping they blindside us with something.
