Gotta think Morgan has an inside track. I wouldn't be surprised by a big free agent signing. You could say it's a waste of an expensive year, but it's also one less year of the guy being overpaid on the back end, when it matters

He's hurt real bad.

We had to take him to get the good prospects.

We'll sign a rag arm vet or two. Standard operating procedure.

I accidentally gave Ethan Martin a flat tire at a reading phillies game this year. He was coming out of the bathroom and I was looking a the historical stuff on the wall on the concourse and stepped on his foot. He had a somewhat horrified look on his face and I said, oh shit sorry dude. He scurried down into the dugout without saying anything doing that funny walk when your shoe is half off.

Martin supposedly fixed himself late in the season. Might be a sleeper.

I had a similar instance with Jeff Carter when he was on the Flyers.

I think it was the years the Flyers went to the cup and he had foot surgery. He was at the Phillies game watching the Flyers and I guess he went to the bathroom and was leaving and I was coming in and we ran into each other. He was on crutches and stuff so I am glad I didn't make him fall.

I think it was Game 1 when Boston won and that was the series they came back being down 3-0. I was surprised he was at McFadden's or whatever watching the game but then I wasn't when I remembered who he was.

jeremy affeldt knows why we never get free agents like jim thome or cliff lee? it's cause of you evil people:

So first, let me be clear. Philly is a great sports town, with passionate fans and a palpable energy. The problem, though, is that the city, more than any other I've played in, seems to condone and almost revel in its fans crossing the line. Nowhere else in this country—again, based on my experience as a 14-year major leaguer and the conversations I've had with other players—is the opposition treated in such a repeatedly vile and borderline threatening manner.

We are out here to play a game, and even though we are paid handsomely to do so, professional athletes should not be subject to vulgarity, personal attacks or epithets. Sadly, in Philadelphia, this kind of fan conduct is far too typical. The irony is, while Phillies fans succeed in making many players dread traveling there, they also (not surprisingly) impact the decision-making process of those same players in free agency.
