    Does Franco realize the teams with the best pitching are the ones that win or will he continue to just judge teams by their hitters??

      Since he was such a good one himself, we understand why Julio Franco likes hitters. Thanks for asking.

      lollar – The objective in baseball has always been and will always be scoring more runs than your opponent.

      It does not matter how you accomplish that goal.

    Are the Phillies done signing players or do they need to do something, particularly RPs? If not set, who is realistically available for them?

    Which SP can the Padres still sign? Is Rodon still in the picture?

    Interesting take that the proposed package of guys for Jazz that FL would turn that down? Chisholm is not that good, not good enough to turn down that package

    Why do people continue to ask questions in the comments instead of the actual chat? It’s hilarious.

      I understand now that I shouldn’t have. However, only one of my questions in about 10 attempts in previous chats got answered. That’s why I never really go to these. I also was wondering if someone else in the comments section could at least answer the questions, so I thought why not?

          @raltongo, thanks! My thought process was that regular commenters could probably answer my questions if the Anthony was unable to get to them. @VonPurpleHayes, sorry if I pissed you off. You and Darkside are great guys to follow here whenever Phillies news come out (I too am a Phillies fan).

      Eh, maybe the chat is over or they’d just rather discuss whatever subject with the entirety of “us” here in the peanut gallery. Either way, it leads to what we all love, more talk about baseball. =)

        That I get, but I happened to see the questions while the chat was going on.

          I’ve been guilty of doing this exact thing… felt like my question wasn’t getting pulled into chat, have to go work on something, pop my question into comments and then resume my discussion later if anybody retorts. A million people could have a million different reasons, but I always enjoy the baseball chats and interactions with fans of all teams especially if I feel my question is pertinent. Nice offseason for your Phils so phar, stay blessed Von. Cheers

          Well this makes sense actually. If it’s just to start conversation then I’m all for it. I incorrectly assumed people may have thought these questions were being seen by the moderator somehow, so it was driving me crazy which is irrational.

        • Abs Samanta

          2 months ago

          @VonPurpleHayes, yep, that may have been my bad. I had sent my two questions around 1:30 PM my time and had waited around 20 minutes. After 1:5o, I gave up, so I left the chat and put my questions on here. Usually, if my questions weren’t answered on the chat, I didn’t put them in the comments section of the live chat/chat transcript post. However, I genuinely wanted to find out what y’all commenters would’ve said in response to my two questions since Anthony wasn’t able to get to them. Sorry if I pissed you off inadvertently.

          @Gwynning, thank you so much for saying your comment! You understood what I was trying to do here! I didn’t think my questions would be answered, so I left and put my comments on here in case anyone else could’ve answered them. I like reading the chats and transcripts but usually never ask questions because I feel like they wouldn’t be pulled into the chat. Today, I just wanted to give it a shot and didn’t succeed yet again. The only difference this time around was that I actually wanted someone to answer my questions, so I put my questions on here as well.

        • Abs Samanta

          2 months ago

          @VonPurpleHayes, yeah, it was just to start the conversation between commenters. Nah, I knew Anthony wouldn’t see this as like a live chat question. I had given up on it getting pulled to the chat, as Gwynning said, so I put them here.

        Clepto – That is so, so true. Same thing with talking … people aren’t very good at listening, for various reasons.

          People now seem to just be waiting for the other person to stop talking so they can proceed to talk. It’s like, nobody is listening. Everyone is in their own little world. Yikes.

    For those still wondering about the A’s ask:

    Nootbar + Donovan + Graceffo

      Would you have made that trade?

      The problem is I know that the Cards won’t spend enough in FA to do this, but I think I would’ve made the trade and then signed Brantley and Swanson.

      Rodon. Senga. Correa. Come on Giants. Get back to greatness.

        I’m still holding out hope that the Phils go for Senga, but that still-hard-to-belive Walker signing kind of prevents that I’d think.
