They seem to have a whole lot of reservations about playing Mayberry anywhere these days. I think Victorino will be back. I think they might be tempted to let Gilles play some in center in a world without Victorino, but I think there would be a pretty big dropoff there.

Would they do that? They will have to go outside for center, don’t you think? Might they as well stay with Vic, if that is true?

No one signs pitchers for 10 years, do they? That’s a looooooooong time.

Ten years is a lot. I don’t think the Phils will do that. I hope the Phils find a way to hold onto Victorino. They don’t have a whole lot of good hitters left.

Cole 1, Vance 2 would be a helluva top of the rotation for many years when Roy & Cliff are done. RAJ might do it (though he probably doesn’t want to go higher than 5.. he got Cliff to go 5), but it might come at the expense of letting Victorino go.

Yeah, I think the Phillies will sign him.

On Polanco, I don’t think there’s any hope he starts to hit for power. Still think there’s a chance he could hit for a high average with good defense. That would help a lot. He had a nice day today.

Our boy has grown up. When did he get this tough? Think Amaro will sign him? I hear he wants 7 years.

Man, you used the multi-million dollar word. Even with our pitching, there HAS to be the ability to produce runs, if for no other reason than to not wear your starting staff to a frazzle. This cannot be fun for our starters. And I doubt it has been fun for a while.

Third has to get better in 2013. (And left.) Meanwhile, back at the ranch, it would not hurt if third got better in 2012. I know you are not a Polly fan; is there any hope at all?

If his bat were HALF as good as his leather.

So I’m guessing yes.
