Andy MacPhail Going to Phix the Phillies (Team President After the Season)

[Rene88]

I still think Andy really wanted the MLB commish job, and I suspect he would do much better than Selig' puppet.

I agree with this.

Don't trade with the Phillies.

Good for Andy.

After he left the Orioles, Andy was able to spend a lot of time with his daddy (Lee) in the final year of his life.

I am happy for him that he was able to spend that time... I wish I was able to.

Should be a much more interesting organization to follow. I loved MacPhail when he was here. We're incredibly lucky to have had two savvy and competent GMs back to back.

While some expect the signing to take place soon, other reports say that both sides will "let the market percolate" first.

I think we will see a 5 year plan for the Phillies.

[Redskins Rick]

First act for Andy, fire that wannabe GM and bring in a real GM.

[Hank Scorpio]

Man, there are a ton of typos in that Heyman article.

Yeesh.

Fear the sweater vest!

Andy helped turn this franchise around. I hope to see him do the same in Philly and I wish him nothing but the best.

Nothing against Andy but I hope he doesn't. Philly fans are the worst.

You don't know what you have until you lose it.

I thought that my mommy would be around forever, and then she died suddenly when I was 19.

I've had great experience's at Philly and love the passion the fans had, its been awhile since I've been, pretty sure they had Kevin Millwood and Pat Burrel at the time so not the best years but the fans were into it. I remember a time when Billy Wagner pitch and was hitting 101 and even 102 you would think they won the world series with each pitch. Yes they booed when he hit below 100 but it was clearly in jest as many people were laughing. I think they get an underserved bad rap.

Where does "Dukie" want to go? Because the Toronto option is closed. Possibly from both sides.

No it is not closed. They extended Beeston a year, and I expect the same situation to appear this offseason.

One set up the other perfectly.

It's closed with the Orioles. Requires them to have interest and they do not.
