[quote name="JSHoosier" post="37316" timestamp="1392247635"]AJ Burnett, man I do not miss having him in the rotation. Good AJ is a borderline ace, bad AJ can give up 10 runs in 3 innings. Also, Derek Jeter formally announced that 2014 will be his last season. Not surprising, but damn I feel old now because I've watched most of his career.[/quote] Sad thing is I'm glad we got him because bad AJ is better than most of our current options outside of Lee and Hamels. Thanks again RAJ I'm not shocked on Jeter. His bodies been breaking down these last couple years. One if the best ever though. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Just seen the Phillies signed AJ Burnett. I like the signing but 16 million is a bit much. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Anyone else see the kid(DJ Law?) sign his LOI to 3 schools? Utah, Ole Miss, and a community college. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

[quote name="TrueHoosier62" post="35533" timestamp="1391632485"]I don't know what to expect this year. I had high hopes for last year, but the defense was depressing. I sometimes wondered if putting blindfolds on the lot of them would have improved their play. :biggrin: Let's hope Knorr works out. If we can get marginal improvement on that side of the ball, and the schedule is favorable again, we might have a chance to see a bowl game. I've haven't heard. Did Sudfeld transfer? [/quote] Nope, Coffman did transfer though. On another note I hear Greg Miclisse wants to commit to IU they're just waiting to check his academics. I'm not entirely sure what's going on but I wouldn't turn him down. Edit: now I see CCG already mentioned it lol. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

I think we've got a solid class and I like the emphasis put on defense recruiting. I'm in a bowl or bust mood for IUFB next season. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Anytime a kid has offers like him I'm more than happy to get him. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

[quote name="djsalway" post="35203" timestamp="1391526381"]Don't you just hate when a player flips his commitment ONE DAY before Signing Day? Man, that's frustrating. Opens up another spot for some of the other guys we're going after, though.[/quote] I just wish kids would wait until they're done with all their visits. You see kids committing then go on 3 more visits and usually flip. Why not just wait and commit when you get done with the process. It baffles me. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

[quote name="Scooter D" post="35255" timestamp="1391542784"]Braves fan here...although I really down on them. Their corporate ownership is killing them as the merely see them as a line item in their financial statements and are not willing to put any monry into them at all go get better players. You Phillies fans from Philly?[/quote] Nope. I'm from Indiana. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

[quote name="djsalway" post="35244" timestamp="1391537234"]Yeah, I love Utley, but he just has so many issues as of late. Same with Ryan Howard too. Glad they've stuck with those two, Hamels, Ruiz and Rollins to keep a solid base in the infield. And I definitely agree. My biggest issue with the team is the lack of young talent. Sure, we have Dom Brown, Darin Ruf (I see some potential to takeover for RH), and a couple of other guys, but the team just seems too old to me. Even the backups have been old in recent years... Brian Schneider, who I can't stand.[/quote] I'm tired of the old team too. RAJ refuses to believe he messed up and should have rebuilt. We destroyed our farm system a few years back and it still hasn't recovered. I do like the potential of Crawford, Franco, and Biddle. But I'm not too optimistic on much else. Our catching prospects are disappointing compared to what what were originally projected. I hope we trade off Lee (even though I love having him) to restock our farm. Edit: I too hate Pap.

[quote name="JSHoosier" post="35233" timestamp="1391535535"]I loved it to an extent. He performed better than pretty well any pitcher in Japan, he even performed better than Yu Darvish in some ways, although he's more projected to be a good 2 than an ace. I just didn't like giving that kind of contract, 7/155 is A LOT for someone that has never thrown a pitch in MLB. He was a player I really wanted though because they needed rotation help (and the FA options weren't as good and just as expensive) and he's young, and I liked that they took a chance on a Japanese player because they were tentative after they missed with Kei Igawa (which is they're own fault, he sucked over there too). So basically I loved it except for the size of the contract. Unfortunately it's going to be that way now for players like him because the new posting system makes it so many teams can negotiate instead of one team throwing a mountain of un-taxable cash for sole negotiating rights (ala Darvish).[/quote] I wanted the Phillies to pursue him but we aren't in the position to compete so I'm glad we didn't get him. I think Tanaka will be a good get but like you said I'm not a fan of the contract he got. I'm not used to seeing other phillie fans. I'm a huge Utley fan hence the 26 next to my name. Hopefully RAJ will get fired after this season, the man is clueless. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

What'd you think of the Tanaka signing? Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

So who is everyone's favorite team? I'm guessing there will probably be a lot of reds fans. I'm personally a Phillies fan. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

All he's said on twitter is he had his signing day outfit picked out. I've not found anything else. Edit: He's not listed on Rivals as a commit but is still listed on Scout. Could be just an error. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app
