Aaron Rowand Signs with Giants
 

Sigh.... Phillies don't ever want to spend money on necessity. Oh well.....

Discuss.

damnit phils. i had a feeling they werent going to sign him. they were talking about not signing him long before the end of the season. im pissed about it anyway but hopefully they do something good in light of this instead of wasting the opportunity to keep him

next year hes going to be a 300 hitter watch. phillies have to get a new owner and gm

the phillies had a great season last year. because of this i thought the organization would have went out and got what they needed to get the job done this season. doesnt seem like they are doing so

oh man WTF!!!!!!!!! can any philly team keep anybody good?

lol what a joke. Seriously.

what a waste. they need to get owners that "actually" spend money in there. instead of getting no name **** heads. god i ****ing hate the phillies sometimes. i just want to go down there and ****ing slap them silly. why do we always sign joe schmo instead of keeping someone we need and actually brings something to this team instead of 8.00 era or .200 batting avg. and then we trade away stars and get nothign for them or what we do get for them, a couple of years later they are gone so making that trade worthless on our part. **** philly sports sometimes. we need owners who ****ing spend money like the yankees and red sox and actually try to keep the big players.

rant over

Am I the only one that didnt want to be tied in to Aaron Rowand for 5 years?

we need ed wade back. he is spending money like crazy with the astros. they just got tejada. **** the phillies for not making moves.

oh and can philly ever be dedicated to win the world series? **** no.

Well let's not pretend like Tejada may be 2 years removed from relevance. He's losing range, not to mention his bat isn't as "poppy" as it used to be. And Ed Wade did fine signing people like Pat Burrell to long term deals.

yea we just lost a true ballplayer damn

Is everyone forgetting Rowand only got hot at the end of the year? We have a good Center feilder still (his name escapes me at the moment) and I don't think we'll really miss him much once the season gets under way.

Michael borne?

He ran into a fence and broke his face for us........

I liked him.

damnit i knew that would happen...come on here we get rid of him and keep Burrell..no offense hes a solid player but no where near as valuable as Rowand was to us. He was Philly's Jim Edmonds the way he played and even if he went 0-4 he made up for it in the field saving runs...Damn you Phillie's mgmt.

Dammint! We should have let Pat go, actually we should have let Pat go last season...

...so who's gonna be in the outfield now? It's Pat, Victorino and who else?

idk we traded bourne i think and lost that kid costanza who supposedly was a great porspect in the minors and now we lose a potential great 3rd baseman for the future

I think Victorino will shift to center and Werth will play right. It sucks he left, he had Philly heart. You know what is next though, the announcing of a huge pay increase for Howard.

That's it. Last I remember he's still with us and he's a damn good player too.
