Phillies done good. Ibanez is underrated and great teammate.

I don’t know why, but I like this just as much as the throw into the ground.

it’s the arm motion he makes when the ball gets by him

that and the fact that the ball is a couple feet beyond him...

before he changes his direction. LOL

The M’s are the "local" team my sports network shows. You know your Jonesing when you actually plan to watch a non Tim or Cain game then back it up for a non King Felix game last year. And yes I did.

It would have been doubly tragic if he did another bounce pass on the relay throw.

If I understand Sabes correctly, he seems to feel that Burrell would let in as many runs as he would produce.

pretty sure they said something similar right before they signed Moises.

LOL Phillies!

Let Burrell go, then sign an older guy with the same glove and a worse bat.

It's not a bad deal

but, yeah, they should have kept Pat instead.

by chilibean_3 on Dec 12, 2008 1:34 PM PST up reply actions

Ibanez has been pretty darn good...

probably about as good as Pat the bat, and even with the new contract, Ibanez will be cheaper.

by biff pocoroba on Dec 12, 2008 2:43 PM PST up reply actions

Ibanez can hit, but I refer you to the upper part of this thread.He does not hit enough to make up for his terrible defense, Burrell does. Also, he’s 37. I really don’t like this signing for practically any price.

Ibanez is also a lefty, and they already have too many of those. Burrell was their big righty bat in the lineup. Who is going to be that now, Pedro Feliz??

I think the dude needs to work on his depth perception, or maybe he should just eat more carrots.
