Offseason Phillies talk
Again, since my football team is done, I must move on to other things. The Phillies signed Werth to a multi-year deal, details aren't yet available: http://www.philly.com/philly/sports/Werth_Agrees_to_Multiyear_Deal.html Howard is seeking a ridiculously large amount in salary arbitration: http://www.philly.com/philly/sports/phillies/20090121_Ryan_Howard_seeks_... Good move on the Werth signing. Solid player, still young. I'm glad he'll be sticking around. I personally don't think Howard is worth as much as he thinks he is. His power numbers are great, but his OBP is horribly low, he's prone to bad slumps, and he's certainly no gold glover. I think he's worth a lot, but he shouldn't get an A-Rod type of contract. He's a step below players like Pujoles and Manny Ramirez.
