    2nd time Heyman has said that in just a couple of days. Guess we'll see if he's right soon enough.

    I'd tend to agree. Not now that they acquired Lee they shouldnt. Only had a limited amount of money to spend I believe and were/still are getting help from MLB. Could be wrong on that though. *Waits for MadMax to enter and correct me* :p

    why dont those morons just stop reporting stuff. it's all meaningless. the astros and phillies are likely talking. that's all that anybody knows for certain.

    I really hope they change their stance on this. Why keep Myers on a crappy team that is going to do nothing. Who cares if the rotation sucks for a few years (and to be honest our starting pitching--even though it looks like horse radish on paper--is usually not the reason we lose ball games).

    If the Yanks want him they better give up the kid that can pitch with both hands plus elite prospects.

    It depends on the prospects the Phils send back. If there are on the high end, Astros should send around $4 or $5 million dollars back. The Blue Jays sent $6 million to Philadelphia with Halladay.

    Buster Olney reiterating what Stark said- Olney said he thinks its Phillies

    Some sticking points:

    Money - Phillies gonna need the Astros to pick up some of they money now that they aren't trading Werth. And of course Oswalt wants that option picked up.

    Prospects - What Stark said. Gotta agree on the prospects.


    Anyhow, what I came to post originally. We were talking about Jen Utley earlier in this thread. What do you say about Pence's s/o? Well, I assume it is.
