Thanks for the solid pitching this season, Freddy!

…and sorry your name has to appear in the same sentence as Erik Bedard’s. More proof that metrics don’t tell the whole story.

Garcia for Felix.
GriffeyandSizemore
Felix Pie?

Dang, Gio Gonzalez has been moved around a lot, apparently no one realized what they had.
Phillies_Aces35
I still can’t believe Pat Gillick traded him and Floyd for Garcia… Hindsight 20/20 and all, but that deal doesn’t go through if they thoroughly check the medicals. (More for Gio than Gavin… who knows if Gavin would have developed in Philly).
… show’s every GM makes a move they wish they could take back.

There is a reason why the Phillies were losers before Amaro. But then again, not much has changed. Just a higher payroll.

Yeah 2 WS appearances, 5 straight division titles, 2 years of best record in baseball. LOSERS!

Yeah well, that’s all pretty recent and after Gillick. Welcome to my world as a Yankee fan and fans taking cheap shots. I guess you can look at that positively considering the fact the Phillies are now on the same level of the Yankees.

You get my point, Red Sox fan..
notsureifsrs
those are all your words. i wouldn’t say any of the things you did about the phillies or the yankees
Phillies_Aces35
Gillick was the GM for the 07 division title and WS Championship. He signed Werth, traded for Stairs, Lidge, etc.
If you’re going to insult the team, at least know what you’re talking about.

I can’t believe that Halladay and Lee have not won a series yet!

We’ll give you Carlos Quentin and Gavin Floyd for Dom Brown

“Big Game Freddie” should get a two year gig
Patrick OKennedy
If the Tigers aren’t going to get Buehrle or Wilson, Freddy would be a better fit than Brad Penny, IMO.
These handshake deals where players decline arbitration so that their former clubs get a draft pick should be sanctioned by MLB. What’s worse is the fact that if the Yankees were to sign three Type A free agents, their sandwich comp pick is exempt from being given as compensation.
Zach Bayer
I think there are at least four or five free agent pitchers I would rather have than Freddy Garcia. I would also rather have Jacob Turner/Below/Wilk/Oliver starting than Freddy Garcia. Roy Oswalt may not have his option picked up, Hiroki Kuroda is a free agent, and Javier Vazquez. The Tigers don’t need their fifth starter to be a washed up veteran.

Seems like an important factor in someone’s “Free Agent Stock Watch” would be his age. No? Just turned 35. Maybe 2 years $10M, second year vests with IP or team option if he doesn’t reach the innings.
NomarGarciaparra
In regards to Erik Bedard, if he can be had for a cheap 1 year deal, the Red Sox should snag him. Chances are he’ll be down half the season, but we’ll definitely need extra arms throughout the season, and Bedard is excellent when healthy.

Freddie’s slit finger has kept him in the majors, plus his ability to pitch which seems to be a lost art.That being said, Freddie is still a ? for 2012, I’m not sure he is worth a 2 year contract but I would sign him to a one year 4 million contract.

El Jefe deserves a loud applause for his terrific gardenwork of opposing teams
