Feels like this team needs a SHOT OF DURBIN

Yeah, it doesn't make sense. It's cheap enough I guess but what's the use?

I can smell 95 wins for this team in 2013. Maybe even 100 or more counting all the playoff wins. The big battle will be for Comeback Player of the Year, dominated by many Phillie candidates.

Actually, that might be bacon I'm smelling as I'm cooking up me some breakfast.

if the Phils have decided there's no big move to make, why not spend some cash on bullpen depth?

especially since it hurt us so much last year

In general I have no problem with the length and money on the contracts this year, and I'm relieved they didn't spend big on someone. But the players who ARE getting the money is the issue.

Maybe Lannan Mike Young Delmon Durbin and Yuniesky will all literally fuse together into a formidable composite organism a la the Peter Weller film Leviathan
