Jeter may be gettin older, and may have had a bad year last year, but i would love to see the phillies sign him put him in right field, and when jimmy rollins contract is up after this year put him back at short stop, the guy is a stud, and a winner...
it seems very unlikley that the phillies sign werth, and Ordonez did have some injury problems last year, but can still swing it with the best of them, and charlie would have to monitor that situation if the phillies were to sign him.. hes a great hitter and does not play a bad right field
i am a phillies fan, and i honestly think that anyone who gets mags is gettin a top notch outfielder i would really like to see him sign with the phillies, to take jayson werths spot in right. hes a hell of a ball player, and would be an asset to any team in baseball
he plays left field... a spot where you put your worst defensive outfielder... and he plays there until he has his last at bat, then u put a better defensive guy out there... Charlie Manual use to do it all the time with Pat Burrell, Pat would bat in the 7th or 8th inning, get on base, and Eric Bruntlett would come out and run for him and go into left field and finish the game out there... this would not be a bad move...
Great idea, Manny would fit in perfect, like you said he has a great relationship wit Charlie Manual, and the phillies could make their line up look a little something like this Victorino Polonco Ramirez Howard Rollins Utley Ruiz Brown/Right handed Platoon possibly Ben Francisco Pitcher Spot I also think they need to do what ever they can to get rid of Ibanez, i love the guy, hes got a lot of heart, but we have just way too many lefties in our line up, and he is takin away from the learning curve of Dominic Brown... also with manny it allows you to be able to have francisco and brown platoon, and late in the game, you can put which ever one is sittin on the bench, to go play defence for manny a lot like the phillies use to do with burrell... but i have a great question... does anyone feel that shane victorino has over stayed his welcome... if you think about it he has not done much since the 2008 world series, and has cost the phillies some big games with some terrible baserunning, and swinging at terrible pitches?? id like to hear what some other people think about all of this
