I think all the points that need to be made in this discussion are all listed above. What would he bring to the table that is not already there? Unless he is throwing absolutly nasty stuff, focus on bullpen help.

they have a loogy, they need a setup man. there are none out there, brett myers is your setupman. there are at least a FEW starters lingeroing out there or in your own system to replace myers. that should be the thought process here, because do you really feel safe signing scott eyre? come on now. 7.11 era in 11 appearances

I say why not…give him achance to return in the freakin 10 mil we gave him last year

I would have to agree here ONLY if he is not getting a bunch of money. IF they can sign hbim cheap then bring him in. It could only help to add someone with Major League experience.

Let me ask you guys a question, who’s fault is it that we traded a few prospects and paid 10 million dollars for damaged goods. Not Freddy Garcia. It is the managment’s fault. We like to always take it out on Freddy, the guy was clearly hurt. He has done nothing but win games and have quality starts in his career, and has a very good postseason track record. Give him a chance, can you really tell me that you don’t bite your fingernails down and are on the edge of your seat every time Moyer and Kendrick take the mound, albet without either one of them we don”t make the playoffs last year nor are we in first place this year, but they get me nervous every time out. A healthy Freddy Garcia is a hard throwing righty with nasty stuff. Always was. I would give him a chance.

STOP BLAMING FREDDY, Gillick traded for damaged goods, all he did was try to pitch through a serious injury to help us!!

for whatever reason, teams in major league baseball do not give their own physical evaluations to opposing players before making trades… they go with the other team doctor’s medical reports.. its a joke, I know.. but that is how its done in baseball..

AND… althogh he’s been shuffled elsewhere since… Gio Gonzalez makes his MLB debut today for the Oakland A’s.. that would really suck balls if both Gio and Gavin Floyd turn out to be studs

Just added Gio GOnzalez to my fantasy squad… gotta like those strikeout numbers he has

right but pretty soon its going to be: brett myers needed a change of scenery, ja happ needed a change of scenery.

myers goes to some al team and closes for them and saves like 45 games for them

happ goes to some nl team (ill bet, but i hope we keep him) in some sort of amaro ill advised trade and wins 18 games for like the dodgers or someone like that.

thats the type of stuff that happens because the phillies screw up young pitching too often. that needs to not happen, ever.

i don’t by the “floyd couldn’t be good here” shit either. that’s all crap. change of scenery is for high school players. ADAPT, you’re getting paid millions.

There is something to be said coaching philosphies and all that stuff… any pitcher that goes to St. Louis (or really wherever Dave Duncan is)… has a career year.

I dont know why, but Gavin Floyd was never going to cut it here in Philadelphia..but he’s doing a great job in Chicago

We dont need him here at all. We have a spot starter in Happ and Garcia will cost too much for his production that wont differ much from what we have.

i dislike our pitching coach. he was good with beckett and burnett in florida be he has not been so hot here.

starters come here, velocity goes down, and the pitcher ends up struggling to become what they should be or used to be.

lohse was OK here, he goes to st louis and becomes an ace, what gives?

For every Brad Lidge theres a David Bell

What a shocker! More server problems at philliesnation.com! What a sucky website!!!

I watched freddy garcia hit a ground ball, pivot, and directly walk into the phillies dugout without even motioning towards first base. He is on record as saying he hated philadelphia and its fans. This was best evidenced by his refusal to even sit on the bench for 1 game after he was injured. Its gillicks fault that we acquired an injured guy but its freddy garcia’s fault that he sucks at life. I would rather bring back Ben Rivera than sign this ungrateful jerk.
