Baseball Tonight, Tonight

[KUJustin]

Forgive my ignorance but who is the grey haired guy on Baseball Tonight tonight? He's the most reasonable guy I've heard on ESPN in some time.

[yellowdoyle]

Steve Phillips?

I think he is decent. I much prefer Buster Olney or Tim Kirkgim or however you spell that.

[THEOSU]

lol

[kyleb]

yeah steve phillips is great

he made that really good trade for victor zambrano. i think he gave up a terrible lefty pitcher with injury problems.

[boc4life]

Steve Phillips was awesome doing the mock GM press conferences at the end of last season outlining what he thought teams should do in the offseason

Otherwise, he has a lot of really stupid things to say on a pretty regular basis

[MicroBob]

Phillips making a great trade or dumb trade as GM of the Mets doesn't have much to do with his performance on BT imo.
I like him on there and think his points are better and more articulate than most of the analysts.

[THAY3R]

He is retarded and doesn't really even understand proper baseball approach and strategy, it really pisses me off that a guy like him was allowed to be GM of a MLB team.

[tdarko]

Thayer,

True or False?

Question: Thayer would be a top 5 GM in MLB?

[THAY3R]

Well, I have taken contract law....

Yeah, i meant decent as an analyst. As a GM the only move I am familiar with is Zambrano, which obv didn't work.
