Re: Phillies NL EAST CHAMPS offseason thread!
 

Misinformation-I though I edited out, but Capuano and Vargas are NOT going to be nontendered. I misread the original article. They could be had in trades, but I doubt Philly has the goods.

Lohse is going to be a pretty bad investment in the winter of 07.

Re: Phillies NL EAST CHAMPS offseason thread!
 

Yea lohse would be a horrible investment for a 5 year deal. Hard to believe anyone would go for that.. the guy hasn't proven to be THAT durable and is at best a 3rd slot starter. I'd take a 2-3 year deal in the 16-20 mil range tho.

Obviously no one has given him 5 years; yet. Boras may be overselling at five, he should have no trouble getting four. There is a very small chance that Gillick gives a four year deal.

It looks like Lohse is going to be too pricey. I would rather pick up somebody like Wolf on the cheap.

Re: Phillies NL EAST CHAMPS offseason thread!
 

Wolf is apparently going to the Padres, grrrr arrrg! I doubt Kuroda is coming here either. I'm left wondering if maybe offering Garcia arbitration might have been a good idea...
