so how does everyone feel about Thome returning to the phagnatics?
i heard somewhere(forget where) he could fill in for howard if his recovery takes longer. but i remember thome refused to play the field when he was traded to LA. wondering if hes going to be 2012's lance berkman.
also, on mlb networks ticker they said phillies reached an agreement with of/1b jim thome. the thought of him in the outfield cracked me up.
Exactly. As we just saw, Berkman can still at least kinda play the OF. I'd rather have Willie Mays play in the field than Thome. Not Mays from the 50s. Mays today.

Sort of like the idea of Huffer playing the OF?

As expected

What teams do you think would realistically be in on Sanchez? I'd imagine it would have to be some fringe contender that has a decent chunk of change and knows that they'd have to take medium risk-high reward moves like this to compete next season. Maybe Cleveland or a sleeper could be the Nats.

I could see Tampa, Boston and New York in on the Sanchez bidding as well. Remember that after CC, the Spankees have one of the shittiest rotations in the game. Sanchez may not be an ace, but he is better than Fatolo Colon or Freddy Garcia and a lot more consistent than Ivan Nova. He's got more control than AJ Burnett.
Tampa has a solid rotation but there have been rumors that they are looking to deal Shields for more bats and they could obviously use another left-handed starter besides Price.
The Red Sux have Beckett, Lester, and ... and .... and ... some 45-year-old knuckleballer. That rotation sucks ass after the top 2. They need pitching.
Phils sign Papeldick too. 4 years $50million.
I think Heath Bell would have been better personally.
Hopefully Papelbon inspires the Phillies to a few Red Sox style collapses over the coming years.
