I consider my trips to Philadelphia on the following scale. You too can consider your trip a success if: -You are not violently pushed aside by fan attempting to trespass on field -You are not vomited on -Your sexual orientation is not questioned -You are not threatened with physical assault -The sum of the IQs of the fans (aside from your own party) sitting immediately next to, behind and in front of you exceeds 300.

There is nobody (save Sabathia if he hits the market) available that is a truly "impact" pitcher. Maybe CJ Wilson.

Tejada .5

You can count on Wilson f-ing Valdez (filling in for Rollins at short) to get some key hit in this series that costs us one of the games.

And if both of them do wind up failing to hit enough (or stay healthy) then first-basemen are about the easiest guys to find. I don't want to break the bank for a 300 pounder entering his 30s just because he's available NOW!!! unless you were convinced that he'd be a Gary-Carter-ish "final piece" which he certainly wouldn't. The only downside I see to signing Fielder is that it will cost us a draft pick. First basemen may well be the "easiest guys to find" but talents such as Fielder are pretty rare. Obviously, I say this somewhat tongue-in-cheek as I know full well the Wilpons can't afford to sign both Jose and Fielder.

Moving Ike to the outfield doesn't seem wise if there's a chance he might be gimpy. We don't really have a spot for Fielder, as you noted. However, aside from Pujols, he's probably the best available free agent, so I say sign him and then figure out what to do with Davis. Realistically, I think pitching is a bigger concern for this team but unless Sabathia opts out and we back up the Brinks truck for him, there's not a lot of impact pitching available. So, we improve offense and worry about pitching later. Is a player of Fielder's quality going to be available on the open market next year? I doubt it. An LF/RF/1B alignment of Duda/Davis/Fielder is going to add value to the team, probably significantly over Bay/Duda/Davis.

Frayed Knot wrote: Somebody tell us how their lineup is doing lately. They're winning because of the pitching. Their offense isn't what it used to be. Hunter Pence has been hot since coming over from Houston in the deadline trade (23 for 75, 4 homers). Howard's down to a 122 OPS+, his lowest for a full season, but he's still dangerous. Utley's done ok (.819 OPS) since coming back from injury. Rollins has 14 homers and is 28-35 in steals (.743 OPS). Ibanez is old but still hits some homers in that stupid minor league ballpark of theirs. --- Would you believe: the Mets have scored more runs than the Phillies this year. The gap used to be even bigger before the Mets went 5-16 in our last 21 games.

According to the Baseball-reference method of calculating WAR, Halladay is about a win more valuable than Victorino.

I don't know about SF. They've still got a ton of dead weight on that payroll: Zito for 2012 and 2013 at $19.5 M each, plus a 2014 option/buyout Rowand for 2012 at $12 M Huff for 2012 at $10 M, plus a 2013 option/buyout. plus, Lincecum is due for another raise (1 more arbitration year) and Sandoval just reached arbitration as well.

Dickey 2 Duda 2 Pagan .5

They had better play this well against the Braves and Philies in the playoffs.
-
Just miserable.
-
Hey, look! We hit a big homerun and then issue a leadoff walk to the opposition to start the next inning.
-
DUDA! Again. How many times this year has he come through like that?
-
Pagan 4 Duda 2 Tejada 2 Thole 1 Beato .5 Parnell .5

MOTHERFUCKER
-
That's it. You got #300, good for you. I never want to see you in a save situation again.
-
No more. Take him out of the game NOWWWWWWWWW
-
PULL HIM NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Bullpen please
-
AWESOME - PAGAN GOES KABOOM Also: Suck it, Rodriguez
-
That's a big hit there for Duda. Very nice. Just need a couple more now.
-
My heart says Milwaukee keeps him (or we get him). My head says an AL team. Who needs a DH and just benched Jorge Posada? Hmmm
-
Brewers: Corey Hart RF Jerry Hairston Jr. CF Ryan Braun LF Prince Fielder 1B Casey McGehee 3B Yuniesky Betancourt SS Josh Wilson 2B George Kottaras C Randy Wolf P We're down 2-0 on an early Braun homer.
