The Phillies plan on making Myers their closer so they wont be trading him anytime soon.

I'm not sure the Phillies know what the hell they're gonna do with him.

First he's the opening day starter, then he's in the bullpen but Gordon is still the closer, then Gordon gets hurt so Myers is the closer after all....

Give it a week or two and they'll be doing something different again...

Well I don't know if it was in a thread, but it was in today's Sun

Duquette said the Orioles have compiled a list of about 12 names for consideration, with "varying degrees of interest," and none who would be considered top-of-the-rotation guys. Though he wouldn't reveal any of them, it appears the Colorado Rockies' Byung-Hyun Kim and Josh Fogg aren't on it.

I'd like to see Myers try to "domestically violate" Gibby or better yet Daniel Cabrera. :D

As awkward as Cabrera looks, I wonder if he can scrap.

Either way, he is not a dude I would mess with and how opposing hitters stand in that box without positively pooping their drawers with him staring you down is amazing to me.

Oh he'd have no problem handling Myers... unless Freddie Bynum got in the way.

    • Now overall I notice 29 K's in 17 innings. That ratio of 1.7 is top of the line for a starter!
    • Urias looks pretty cooked too though, and he's not providing the kind of defensive flexibility that Mateo is, and he doesn't have very good splits for platooning.  At least for 2023 and 2024 Mateo has had good platoon splits.
    • SSS but Holliday was playing incredible defense after like the first game or two when he seemed to have some jitters.  He had +3 OAA in a very short span.  Mateo has looked a little awkward at 2nd to be honest, and he's not the best at making the double play turn.
    • Hoping for a speedy recovery. That all happened fast. Not my initial impression reading the write up.
    • McCann looks cooked but he's in his last year and our options at backup C aren't great unless we're willing to trade for one.  But I'm not giving up a lot for a backup C.   I'd like to find a replacement for Urias.  He didn't look great last year and he's being thrust into a role that he's not really cut out for right now.  I don't think he's getting the 2022 magic back.  Maybe Westburg can go to 3rd full time and one of our 5 AAA 2nd basemen can work in with Mateo at 2nd.
    • I quoted myself, because I wanted to share something with you all.  I have memory issues.  Nothing full blown or anything, but I don't recall things nearly as well as I once did.  I mention this because it occurred to me that I posted a very similar thing about McCann last year, and he performed notably better in the 2nd half.  At least I believe so.   It's not that I feel I'm exactly wrong about McCann, but rather that he showed himself to be better just last season and could do so again.  I hope so. Memory issues are nothing to be ashamed of, though I'd be pretending if it didn't bother me.  I've been dealing with this for maybe five years or so, though it gets worse every year.  At 59, that's younger than most that have such issues.   I'm sure in a forum as populated as this one, there could be others going through what I am.  It is what it is... it's life, and I hope you're all doing your best with it. 
    • Estrada and Tejada both continued their recent surges today.  Estrada was 2 for 4 with a double, while Tejada was 3 for 3  with a homer.  Tejada has his OPS up to .737, not bad for a league where .654 is average.  Estrada is at .628 and climbing.
