The Phillies can have Tillman if they really want him.

Then let them have him. 

Ugh, this is exactly what I was talking about earlier. People are just reading the misleading headline "Phillies Targeting Chris Tillman" and are assuming it means the Phillies are actually pursuing him, when that's not what the story says at all. This is how false rumors get started.

Yeah, the team really drafted and developed well with those guys. This is a huge loss.

This guy is an advance scout.    He’s got nothing to do with drafting and development.

Not sure why so many folks didn't notice that part.

He's the reason our hitters don't have a plan against the pitcher.

I only saw a post where it said the Phillies wanted Tilllman. I thought it was real. Not someone's idea of a joke. That's why I said let them have him.

The Phillies have lost at least 89 games the last five games. The leadership team McPhail is building was mostly here during the time the Orioles never had a winning record. Are we really supposed to be upset over this?

We do tend to make mountains out of molehills here.

No, it’s just interesting.    As I mentioned, only two people actually were hired away from us, anyway.     The others just used to be with the O’s at one time.

Beginning to think that "PhillyOs119" might be a spy...The name alone makes this connection...

In all seriousness, aren't the Phillies in a "rebuild?"

[Tony-OH]

I honestly have never even heard of this advanced scouting guy.

It’s about time they emerged from the rebuild.   They had the youngest team in Baseball in 2017, and a fair number of their best prospects are major league ready.

Plus, isn't it next season they are supposed to have the most amount of money coming of the books?

They arent expected to carry a big payroll, spending the money elsewhere.

Ha, if I was I surely wouldn’t be targeting the Orioles advanced scouting, that seems to be a team weakness.

The article says the Phillies have one starter.   That doesn't sound  like a team ready to emerge.    

Yea, yea.  I know the O's only have two.  And that is the current problem.
