Ouch poor Philadelphia Phillie fans maybe if you stop booing everybody in 2-3 years .Free Agents might come play there your team will be fine wait not next year but 2-3 so be cool and learn to cheer your team on .

This comment is so misguided and funny.

Um, ok. Thanks for the advice and reassurance. I guess…

I’ll stop booing if they stop sucking.

When the Phillies had a team all the free agents want to play here many trades were made Cliff Lee Roy Halladay Raul Ibanez just to mention a few. The stadium was sold out every night and the cheers could be heard all the way to New York

No one wants to go to Philly because they aren’t good.
When the Phillies were good, they had no problem attracting FA”s.
Lee, Polanco, Ibanez, Papelbon, Thome, Mike Adams plus all the contract extensions they gave out to guys who they traded for/drafted.

Also, no one wants to play in Philly because, well, the Phillies are simply not interested in signing big name free agents right now.

Brixton, hate to break it to you but the Phillies were “not good” when Thome signed with them. But then again, small details are irrelevant when you’re trying to make dumb statements.

Did somebody from the Rays front office move over to Phillies? Seems like they have acquired an unusual amount of former-Rays this off=season. They have acquired Hellickson, Goeddel, Frieri, and now Arencibia off the top of my head.Just a coincidence?

I hope they can trade Ruiz and allow JP to be the back-up.
TheMichigan
Wasn’t Ruiz your guys starting catcher? Or was it Rupp
Brixton
Ruiz lost his job to Rupp, who looks like a stopgag for Knapp/Alfaro.

Much needed depth for catcher. Ruiz needs to stay as his presence will help all the young pitchers. Rupp is a good backup but who knows if he’s anything else.

I hope the Phillies can send Ruiz somewhere, I love Ruiz but his time is up there and he need to go somewhere, maybe KC to back up Perez and help the pitching staff, I’m not totally sure what their catching depth looks like tho, even if they don’t having arencibia back up first wouldn’t hurt either, unless he hits like he did before this year then we have guys like him ruf and Howard to lead the majors in Ks…

I hope the Phillies send Howard somewhere, maybe to Tampa bay for new soda machines and a bag of balls

Feel sorry for JP in a way.
He’s got a lot of power.
Maybe not enough skills to be behind the plate much but
he could have been an okay first baseman or a left fielder.
