Well, I certainly hope he gets treated better than I get treated here.

You get treated badly? I've always thought of you as well-liked.

I'm just messing. But some people could be nicer to me like 702 and Soren.

I'll send them strongly-worded PMs demanding better treatment.

He will be a great gay Phillie.

Best since Cole, for sure.

David Hernandez's one-year contract with the Phillies is for $3.9 million. It includes bonuses for games finished. Prelude to a Giles trade?

by **BigEd76** » Wed Dec 09, 2015 20:07:38

Already the 4th-highest paid player on the team

Does that make him our highest-paid reliever?

Howard, Chooch, Hellboy?

oh yeah, forgot about him. He doesn't have a salary for '16 yet. Harrison is the other guy

They wouldn't jerk Zo around so this is gold. I'm really excited by this pick. I really don't understand why the Rays didn't protect him

Sounds good to me, like what I've read about him.

by **PSUPhilliesPhan** » Wed Dec 09, 2015 21:34:03

Love it. His stats have gradually improved every year while going up a level. When words "raw" and "athletic" are also associated with that player there's legitimate upside. Perfect Rule 5 pick.

Goeddel inf:
Team: Montgomery Biscuits (AA) ETA: 2016
Position: OF Age: 23 DOB: 10/20/1992
Bats: R Throws: R Height: 6' 4" Weight: 186 lb.
Drafted: 2011, 1st (41) - TB
VIDEO

Scouting grades: Hit: 50 | Power: 45 | Run: 55 | Arm: 60 | Field: 45 | Overall: 45
Goeddel's older brother, Erik, is a pitcher in the Mets organization and made his Major League debut in 2014. Tyler had his best season in the professional ranks in 2014, but still has a ways to go before he too reaches the big leagues.

Goeddel was projectable and athletic when the Rays drafted him in 2011 and he's still working to hone his raw tools. He has a loose, line drive swing that should lend itself to hitting for more power once he physically matures. He knows how to use his speed on the bases and has stolen at least 20 bases in each of his first three professional seasons.

Defensively, Goeddel began as a third baseman, but the Rays moved him to the outfield in 2015. He's seen time at all three spots, and his strong arm and speed are assets there.

by **BigEd76** » Wed Dec 09, 2015 21:57:04

Some of Goeddel's follows on Twitter include Obama, Mitch Walding, Kevin Durant, RGIII and Skittles. hmm

Our starting rotation on Opening Day?

Aaron Nola, Jerad Eickhoff, Jeremy Hellickson, Vincent Velasquez, Brett Oberholtzer

I think Adam Morgan still fits in there ideally in Oberholtzer's spot but they may give Velasquez some minors time.

Finishing with the worst record was so awesome:

JJ Cooper ‏@jjcoop36
Braves looking to trade out of pick 3 in the Rule 5. Wanted Goeddel and he is almost assuredly gone to Phillies at 1.
