If that had gone through, I wonder what the infield plan for next year was

(Meaning, is it Utley or Asche the team is more concerned about for 2014)

But when Cleveland asked for more in return for Cabrera, the deal fell through.

The Nats' bizarro Zo says the Phils are among the teams interested in JP Howell (along with the Nats, Mariners, Rangers and Cubs). You may remember him from such WFCs as Burrell's double off the fence

That's a surprise, with Bastardo, Horst, and Diekman on board. Maybe Amaro's just trolling competitors (and the Yankees) this offseason

He's still got some $$$ burning a hole in his pocket, so he's got to spend it somewhere.

if you signed howell its because you probably have a trade lined up for bastardo.

but the nats writer may be saying we were after him pre adams. no reason to spend more money on pen now.

It was posted around 6 last night and they didn't say anything about the Phils dropping out after signing Adams, so who knows. Maybe Charlie thinks they need a vet lefty to go with the young guys

I refuse to find anything even remotely positive about paying that Elfin cunt to play for us. Anyone who tries to tell me otherwise can go fuck themselves, I hate him too much to be rational.

So you're still sore over 2010 then?

As it is, he's the only player that i unconditionally hate that we're linked with, if Rube signs him, he's dead to me.

Fair point, but even I have my limits to irrationality and that Elfin cunt makes me go past even those limits.

sorry 2010.

cody ross can help this team.......its better tomorrow with him than it is today as long as we dont overpay him.

i dont care what others think..just my opinion. i am not a dom brown fan..if you can get a really good RH bat(not soriano) in a deal for him..i would do that.......but not sure how many more prospects we really want to trade
