Lee has a $12.5M buyout next year and Howard a $10M one in 2017.
Howard is done after next season but with a '17 option and 10m buyout. Lee is done this season but with a '16 option and 12.5m buyout.
Yeah, after not having played fantasy BB for a decade-plus, I couldn't have picked a better year to rejoin a league.
Isn't that where Vegas had them projected at the beginning of the year? I can't remember if they had anyone else lower.Worst record in baseball!!!
We're number 1?
Oh yeah, ranked first there too. In my O/U pool, they were the only team listed under 70, at 68.5, and I took the under.Isn't that where Vegas had them projected at the beginning of the year? I can't remember if they had anyone else lower.Worst record in baseball!!!

Wow that seems like a lock after the Cliff Lee injury and knowing that Hamels will be dealt.Oh yeah, ranked first there too.

One poor homer out of 10 in the pool took the over. He's gonna pay for that one.Wow that seems like a lock after the Cliff Lee injury and knowing that Hamels will be dealt.Oh yeah, ranked first there too.

It's incredible to me the Phillies let him speak in public. Putting aside how bad he is at his job, after the whole "not knowing the difference between a plate appearance and an at-bat" thing, I would have made sure to keep him under wraps.
He's a pompous windbag. He'll call in to sports talk while he's in his car listening. He loves himself. I don't disagree with him saying we need to be patient and let them work the plan. Problem is I don't see a ####### plan. And he's made mistake after mistake so I don't trust him at all to get it back on course. The only reason why he still has a job is because Montgomery is still alive. They need a majority owner who will clean house from top to bottom and start from scratch. Their scouting and minor league system is a complete joke. The old boy network needs to go.njherdfan said:

He had the goofiest MLB-TV interview package of all the selections so there's that
Obviously I'd rather get Schwarber or someone with higher upside, but that would not be too bad.
The bolded have been ignored all too often by Phillies scouts, so this is very encouraging.
True, but if Crawford were to keep his OPS over .900, I think that would definitely force their hand. Sometimes these things can come together faster than you might expect.
It is kind of a leadership problem in the front office, I would say. Ruben is seemingly an idiot. I doubt that Gillick really has the energy to try to re-build this thing. Montgomery is sick (not that he was great, but at least there was somebody supposedly in charge). Middleton, who knows, probably spends most of time keeping his son away from twitter. No idea who is even a decision maker at all, let alone a good one.
You're right, just a rudderless ship floating into the abyss. Oh hey, rumors Andy McPhail possibly the next President. Sure, another 70 year old should jump start things.
That little hiccup of a winning streak early may have cost them the record but I honestly can't see them winning 60 games this year.
