What moves (realistic moves) should they make to give them a great bench??

And if all the other teams in the NL are overrated, how are they going to beat us???

bruntlett is actually good defensively, im a little too hard on him there, yes. but hes worthless at the plate for the most part too. hes a terrible baserunner as well.

i just want bench players who can be serviceable at the plate. just dont go out there and suck and GIDP. just giv eme some people that can contribute when you ask them to. they dont have that from all bench positions. dobbs is the exception

oh, and i like dobbs and ive said as much. do you know how much of a waste of money jenkins is though? seriously. brandon watson can do no worse than that, and he makes much less. geoff jenkins is garbage! you give 5 million to someone who is totally all or nothing and has a HUGE hole in his swing? terrible signing.

you think so taguchi is better than like any 5th outfielder? HE CANT CATCH SIMPLE FLY BALLS!!!! you and i can catch simple fly balls at the very least. but a 38 year old veteran cant?

You would make the worst GM of all time.

NOT EVERY PLAYER ON YOUR TEAM CAN BE AN ALL-STAR…

and then when you trade all of our players for prospects, we would have to listen to you bitch even more about how bad our young players are..

Ruiz is the starter… Coste is a bech player.. if you dont know that, you don’t know the Phillies… Bruntlett did a hell of a job taking Rollins place when he was on the DL.. Dobbs is the best pinch hitter in baseball.. and Jenkins/ Taguchi sure aint great, but its better then a lot of other team have

i call depth meaning they can produce against quality competition when they are called upon, ESPECIALLY in tough situations. Werth is a starter not a bench player. Ruiz is considered the backup now even though backup catchers play a lot anyway. The Bench is jenkins, ruiz, dobbs, taguchi, bruntlett. dobbs is one of the best utilitymen in baseball. KEEP

bruntelett? i liek his versatility, but still garbage DFA or RELEASE

taguchi? not good enough to be on their struggling AAA team, let alone a major league team, totally baffling why he is playing at all. RELEASE

jenkins? overpaid (he makes 5MM!!!!) worthless pile of crap – DFA because noone wants him

Ruiz – good defensive catcher, worthless at the plate – no value still, TRADE FOR A SHITTY PROSPECT

When you keep saying “good teams” … you should start throwing out some examples from time to time..

outside of Boston or LA who are both trying to unload their highly-overpaid OF mistakes… Coco Crisp… Gary Matthews Jr…

on good teams, the 5th outfielder is someone who can actually contribuite. thats why sos gotta go. just get someone out there who isnt COMPLETELY worthless.

have you guys ever heard of something called depth? the phillies have no depth in their lineup at all past the frontline guys.

Last time it was Hamels vs. Santana, Hamels pitched a pretty good game, but Santana was lights-out.. Lets go for the win tonight, and then try our best tomrw.. instead of using a new guy tonight and only give yourself a 50-50 chance in the next two games.

Just over a year ago JA Happ went 4 inning with 5 ER against the Mets, including 3 HRs from Lo Duca, Beltran, and Wright. They don’t need a book on him.

And are you really going to throw the new guy under the bus already against the best pitcher in baseball? Give Happ a chance against the rookie. I’d much rather lose against the pathetic Braves tonight and pull out a opening win against the Mets. Maybe Chollie is afraid that Hamels’ start will go to waste anyway when we can’t hit Santana….
