that's gonna be interesting. I always thought that Chollie's baseball philosophies were like 180 degrees different than the traditional phillies org philosophies.

I'm guessing somewhere in the group that will be 5th-10th worst record, all separated by 2 or 3 games total.

Houston, Miami, Minnesota... wait.

4th-worst record. Maybe the Cubs or White Sox fight us for 4th, but we're looking 4th-to-6th. Can't wait for the June 2015 draft.

He isn't actually going to have any input. They will probably just tell him to record his thoughts on a tape recorder and put them in an envelope and send them to Amaro's office and he will review them.

how many advisors do the Phillies employ now

probably a normal amount but its funny still

stats intern is going to need a carry tray for all the advisors starbucks

In Rube's defense its hard to improve the club when you have to spend the entire offseason creating new made-up jobs for guys. Honestly, I'm stunned that Wheeler has not yet been named Assistant to the Regional Manager.

I haven't weighed in on this yet since I haven't heard how many years this is for.

Kendrick is the most heroic Phillies pitcher since Tommie Underwood or even Barry Lee Lersch.

It's a bargain. We're only paying him $420,000 more than Andew McCutchen makes. And only $170,000 more than Evan Longoria.

Is anyone else just surprised KK's deal was only for one season?

The thing that surprises me the most about KK is that his wife doesn't kill him in his sleep and run off with the gardner and KK's millions.

Pretty sure she doesn't need to wait until he's asleep.

Pretty interesting career. Became a regular at age 23. Outstanding season at age 24, really good year. Also very good at age 27, 29 and 31. Been kind of meh or worse in his other eight seasons. Hasn't been any good since 2010.

He's due.
