Beh, da un Jimmy Rollins io mi aspetto ben altri numeri. Tantopiù che è il leadoff del lineup, non certo il numero 9. è innegabile che quest'anno a livello offensivo stia facendo letteralmente schifo, bust of the yearPhillies wrote: questo Stark deve essere un cretino o per qualche motivo a noi sconosciuto prevenuto, che Rollins stia ormai da qualche anno deludendo in attacco è vero, ma che a livello difensivo dia un contributo fondamentale lo è altrettanto! e con un lineup forte come il nostro, possiamo permetterci di schierare un difensore come Rollins! Rimanendo in casa nostra, senz'altro poteva scegliere Lidge.......

The Pros and Cons of Pedro Martinez
PROS:
* One-year, prorated contract doesn’t cost the Phils much.
* If he is healthy, Martinez is a veteran that clearly knows how to win.
* Think Kris Benson: If he doesn’t work out, it was nice knowing you.
* His baseball IQ is through the roof – his presence can only help the rest of the staff.
* Pedro is a jovial guy. He would fit in well with this loose bunch of characters.
* Was excellent in his short stint for the Dominican in the World Baseball Classic.
CONS:
* He is 37-years old, and well past his prime.
* Over the past few seasons, Pedro has been injury prone.
* Is he better than the likes of Rodrigo Lopez, Carlos Carrasco, and Antonio Bastardo, among others?
* The bullpen will not be safe with Martinez on the mound. It’s unlikely he can go more than six innings.
* Started just 25 games over his final two seasons with the New York Mets.
* He’s an ex-New York Met.
VERDICT:
It’s a win-win for the Phils should they lock him up. While he is on the back nine of an illustrious career, Pedro Martinez could supply them with a solid back-end pitcher. And if he doesn’t, the Phillies can cut him loose and eat the small amount of money he would be owed.
Arriba arriba Pedro! come diceva il Manzoni:" Adelante Pedro, con judicio!"

Scherzo. Vedere Pedro sul monte per me è sempre un piacere, anche se ovviamente non è più lui.

Lo so che non è piu' l'epoca delle bandiere (e che soprattutto Pedro non è mai stato una nostra bandiera), pero' che fastidio vederlo con la vostra casacca.

Re: Philadelphia Phillies 2008 WORLD SERIES CHAMPS
Io spero di vederlo il meno possibile in campo semplicemente perché il suo ruolo dovrebbe essere quello di ruota di scorta e meno si buca meglio è durante la corsa.
Per Rollins non ho voglia di guardare ma siamo sicuri che sia ancora il top difensivamente? Comunque il discorso è semplice non investirei una lira per uno SS con il nostro lineup abbiamo lui e tant'è certo è un delitto schierarlo numero 1 questa è una sciocchezza ma non dipende da lui come dice Sberl, da un giocatore in vecchiaia mi aspetto proprio questo che mantenga più o meno il guanto e che scenda in battuta anche drasticamente l'errore e chi non vede la normale involuzione e si ostina a schierarlo numero 1. Non è quest'anno che sta facendo schifo è un giocatore sopravvalutato in declino un bel mix per battezzarlo ora. In queste pagine si è parlato male di lui in parte giustamente l'anno del MVP figuriamoci oggi che le stat sono di lettura facile anche per un bambino è normale che si parli di bust.

Halladay or Prospects: Take Your Pick
Posted by Pat Gallen, Tue, July 14, 2009 09:30 AM
American League starting pitcher Roy Halladay, of the Toronto Blue Jays, speaks during a news conference announcing the lineups for the All-Star baseball game Monday, July 13, 2009, in St. Louis. The All-Star game is set to be played Tuesday in St. Louis. (AP Photo/Jeff Roberson)Many a general manager has been fired in this league over the term “potential.” For every Cole Hamels, there is a Pat Combs; for every Chase Utley, a Steve Jeltz.
The Phillies find themselves peering at two scenarios; one is now, one is later.
Roy Halladay is the hottest name in the baseball world right now, not only because he is available, but also because his willingness to play for a contender makes him an ideal match for this club. Halladay fits the “now” because of his lengthy positive track record and his position as perhaps the best pitcher in baseball. You can win now with Roy Halladay.
J.A. Happ, Kyle Drabek, Michael Taylor, and others represent the “later.” Besides Happ, none of these players can help toward back-to-back titles. Drabek was on display at the MLB Futures Game in St. Louis yesterday, and he did not disappoint. One baseball official told Todd Zolecki of MLB.com that Drabek was “the best pitcher he watched” in the talent show. Taylor has been spectacular, exhilarating the organization with his five tools. Realistically, many of these players are a few years away from producing.
If Halladay is indeed available for a price that is manageable, the Phillies can mortgage part of the future and pray to the baseball gods that they get another championship in the next year and a half. If they do not win, Halladay will hit the open market, most likely, and that window will be closed. On top of that, they will have lost four or five prime pieces that could have made their mark in Philly down the road.
If the Phillies decide to stand pat, keeping a firm hand on their prized farm system, then they must go with what they have. Let’s not forget, the Phils won it all with a team comprised with many of the same parts they have this year. Again, though, they must pray to the Gods that a championship or two is won a few years down the line. At the same time, they certainly believe this squad is more than capable of winning.
The baseball purist in me wants to see the Phillies hold on to the kids. The part of me that searches for quick production wants Doc. Neither choice is right or wrong, but the outcome could decide how the 2009 Phillies fare.
Halladay coming to Philadelphia may very well be a pipe dream. The more likely decision will be to keep the minor leagues intact and concentrate on preserving a team that can win. It will also save a franchise known to be frugal a boatload of money. A source close to Randy Miller of the Bucks County Courier Times said that the Phillies are weary of adding more money to an already distended payroll. Halladay would cost the Phillies somewhere in the $5 million range for this season and $15.75 million next year.
My pick: If the trade does not involve Happ or Drabek and if the Blue Jays list is not six or seven players deep, then a deal should be made. It’s advantageous to keep young pitching that is under control for several years. The Phillies obviously realize this, which is one of the reasons why Drabek has been put on the untouchable list.
You can’t throw everything at the wolves. You need to hold on to some of that “potential.” Can that be achieved? Soon enough, we will find out.
UPDATE (2:12 pm): According to MLB.com, the Toronto Blue Jays will not allow potential suitors interested in Roy Halladay work out a contract extension before a trade is done.
io mi sono già espresso ampiamente......Happ non si tocca, se no non cambia nulla! Drabek è apparentemente il futuro, ma i Phillies possono rivincere oggi! Darei tutta la farm per Halladay!

Re: Philadelphia Phillies 2008 WORLD SERIES CHAMPS
Quindi per riassumere: Happ per Halladay no, neanche alla pari.
Però si a Taylor+Brown+Donald+Drabek+Carrasco+Knapp+Marson (mi fermo a 7).
Ovviamente dipende da Amaro. Le pedine ci sono...
Aggiornamento:
2.90 ERA, 4.55 FIP, 4.80 xFIP, .238 BABIP, 35.8% GB%, 85.9% LOB%.
C'è anche questo:
4.87 ERA, 3.95 FIP, 3.55 xFIP, .343 BABIP, 39.4% GB%, 71.3% LOB%.
Non credo che ci siano molti dubbi su quale dei due puntare nella seconda metà.

Due mancini. Il primo è dell'82, il secondo dell'83. Uno dei due è fortissimo.Pablets wrote: Chi sono?!? :D
Quello dell'83 in carriera:

2008: 3.09 ERA, 3.70 FIP, 3.78 xFIP
2009: 4.87 ERA, 3.95 FIP, 3.55 xFIP
Estremamente costante, davvero. Molto fortunato nel 2008, molto sfortunato nel 2009, a fronte di prestazioni molto simili.

Non so dove tu stia guardando. La FIP alcuni la calcolano in maniera marginalmente diversa, ma l'ERA è universale ed è 2.90 per tutti.Pablets wrote: Quello dell'82 me lo danno a 2.81 ERa 4.44 FIP.
Ovviamente non cambia il discorso.
