After the ESPN sex scandal, I thought I would never hear from this idiot again. Goodness..

Rob Neyer actually made a great point about how for certain teams this sort of deal COULD make sense. But not in any possible manner for the Nationals.

Just more reasoning behind the "used to" in the thread title. Embarrassing.

I wonder if he's just trying to get attention so he can get a TV job again? Otherwise, I have no idea how he could have ever had a GM job.

Methinks this isn't the kind of attention one would want to prove their knowledge of the sport.

Then again, maybe he watched Skip Bayliss that morning...

That's what I'm saying. You don't have to have a good opinion about something to get a job, you just have to say something outlandish that gets people to watch/listen/read so the "media" outlet brings in ad revenue.

Reason # 5,025,539 why Steve Phillips was an awful GM, and should never, and probably will never be one again.

Oswalt a top 5 pitcher?

:laughlol::laughlol::laughlol::laughlol::laughlol:

He isn't even top 5 in his own division

Uh, the guy clearly has no eye for talent.

Apparently she's no relation to Todd Hundley. I don't believe it for a minute.

[Tony-OH]

That dude needs a haircut. And I'm not talking about Phillips.

[Dr. FLK]

Uh, the guy clearly has no eye for talent.

I honestly can't tell if that's a man or a woman. That's not his "other woman", is it?

You know Phillips looks like an idiot here, but there is a good possiblity he could be right about Strasburg never having the career Oswalt has had so far. Strasburg's delivery does come with injury concerns, and I don't think he's going to have a long career.

He'll be dominant for awhile, but he be injured and out of baseball before he turns 27 IMO.

Exactly. People didn't think it could ever happen to Mark Prior, and he was textbook with his delivery.
