\r\n Here is what I expect over the offseason...as much as anything can be expected.
\n
\n-Michael Bourn or BJ Upton to roughly a 5/80 contract
\n-Acquire Chase Headley for Vance Worley, Trevor May, MLB ready RP (Aumont or DeFratus), B+ spec (maybe Biddle?)
\n-Ervin Santana to a ~3/39 contract (Santana is a guy who could get the Edwin Jackson treatment this offseason too)
\n-Acquire a setup RP (could be anyone) AAV roughly 4.5.
\n
\nOf course, Ruben is hyper aggressive when filling out his roster. I would like to see him continue to be aggressive with CF and 3B, but it makes more sense to sit back and wait out the SP/RP markets.\r\n

\r\n
\r\n I am sory if a little long but I was bored at work
\r\n
\r\nThis is my end of year/going into the off season analysis-obviously nobody knows what the Phillies are going to do.
\r\n
\r\nC-Ruiz is coming off a year where if he played the whole season he may have got some consideration for mvp. He is in an option year for 5 million so there is no way the Phillies don’t pick it up. As a backup, Kratz had a great year but tailed off late. I was very pleased with his defense and clutch hitting so around 500-800k resigned is appropriate. Joseph and Valle sit in the wings. Lets hope one of them have a monster year in the minors next year and maybe contribute in 2013 but more likely 2014.
\r\n
\r\n1B-Howard’s offseason conditioning will be huge and yes his contracted is inflated but we are stuck with him. With a full year I still see at least 30hr’s with 100 plus rbi’s but yes you still have a lot of strikeouts, bad defense, a low batting average. The thing that scared me is the lack of walks after he came back from injury. Wiggington, Ruf, Nix, and Mayberry can all spell Howard whether a tough lefty is pitching; he needs a day off or injury (again)
\r\n
\r\n2B-I am very encouraged by Utley’s return. I think the fact that he works pitchers so tough and gets on base shows he can still play. Hopefully he can be ready at the start off spring training with no offseason plans ahead. Galvis can sub in with great defense but little to offer at bat but give Chase a breather when needed.
\r\n
\r\nSS-Everybody trashes Rollins but he plays great defense, still scored 100 runs and when he is hot he can carry this team. His indiscipline at the plate and sometimes not hustling drive me crazy. He should not be your leadoff hitter but there are no better replacements available.
\r\n
\r\n3B-Polanco had a good career but obviously he is not an option. He should retire. A Franzden/Galvis platoon maybe an option but between here and CF this is where we need to get a Right-handed hitter to split up Howard and Utley to balance our lineup. I would have hoped Franzden is for real but his career numbers show an average player at best. I know Asche and Franco are in the minors but Franco being the better prospect is years away. I can’t see the Mets not picking up Wright’s option so there are not many other options. I think prying Olt from Texas looked like a lost cause or it already would have happened. My recommendation is working out a trade with Rockies for Tulowitzki. Granted this is pipe dream in many ways and everybody is going to trash me but it is my wish. There are many question marks to this. Yes, he is always hurt! Yes, I know there is no way they trade him! Yes, I know he would have to change positions where he is already great at! Maybe we could pry him away. I am not even going to speculate what to give and I don’t want to clear out the farm but there nobody there in free agency so a trade needs to be made.
\r\n
\r\nLF-I think you have to see what you have in Ruf here. Granted, it is only a small sample size so there are a lot of positives and a lot of questions but you have Mayberry, Nix, Wiggington and Schierholtz to play if it doesn’t work out. I thought Pierre had a great year and maybe he can be resigned as a backup. Cespedes or Kubel would have been really nice here as last year’s offseason signing but too late for that type of hindsight
\r\n
\r\nCF-This is the another major question mark spot and there are a lot of options out there but not many I am too fond of spending a lot of money on like Bourn, Upton, etc. There is no way I can see us spending 25 million a year for Hamilton. Ideally I think if Tyson Gillies could step up that would be amazing but there may be too many question marks. I think he is a year away and just needs to play more. I would have liked him to steal more in the minors with a better success rate. Hopefully he can step up and win the position in spring training other wise I think you are looking at Mayberry here full time. Another option is bringing back Victorino at a one year deal for no more 7-8 million. I really want a .300 hitter who plays good defense and will play small ball to bat in 2-hole and bats right-handed but so does every team in baseball
\r\n
\r\nRF-My ideal is to have Gillies win the CF and let Mayberry and Brown platoon. I think both showed they can be adequate for the salaries they make.
\r\nBench-I actually think you have a solid bench. I think most of them were exposed while Utley and Howard were out for too long of an extended stretch but with Kratz, Franzden, Wiggington, Galvis, Martinez (who should only be called up if an emergency), Schierholtz, Mayberry/Brown and maybe Pierre or even another minor league deal for Pete Orr to contribute whenever injuries occur. Obviously that is too many for the bench but Galvis and Martinez could start the year in Lehigh to get at bats and who knows who gets hurt. As many quality backups the better based on all these players ages and history of injury
\r\n
\r\nLineup: 1. Rollins SS, 2. Mayberry/Brown RF, 3. Utley 2B, 4. Tulowitzki 3B, 5. Howard 1B, 6. Ruiz C, 7. Ruf LF, 8. Gillies CF or if you sign a free agent you bat him second and move the RF platoon back to 8 spot
\r\nBatters Salaries: based off Cot’s Baseball contracts:
\r\nStarters: C Ruiz-5million, 1B Howard-25, 2B Utley-15, 3B Tulowitzki-10, LF Ruf 600k CF Gillies-600k RF Brown-600k
\r\nBench: C Kratz-600k, IF Franzden-800k, IF Wiggington-4million, OF-Mayberry-600k, OF Schierholtz-2.125, UT Nix-1.375
\r\n=66.3Million (approximately)
\r\n
\r\nStarting Pitcher’s-
\r\n1P-Hamels, 2P-Lee, 3P-Halladay, 4P-Kendrick, 5P-Worley-Your obvious question marks are Worley coming off an injury and Kendrick’s consistency. The main concern is what do you have with Halladay? This may be his last year as he may not hit his incentive clause extending his contract so I guess we will see what we have here. This is definitely an area of strength and with an improvement in the other areas should push us into the playoffs next year. You do have some depth in Pettibone and Cloyd and some future pitchers, if they develop and are not traded in Biddle, Martin and May.
\r\n
\r\nBullpen and Closer-Obviously you are set here at closer with Papelbon and have a ton of young arms available just need them to develop. A lot of people said Papelbon is overpaid for but I am ok with what you get. Many people are crying for one solid set up who gave you what Madson did for a couple of years. I disagree, I think you have enough top prospects that need to develop themselves and establish there roles. You have a long list: Bastardo (who had a great second half), Lindblom, Rosenberg, Aumont, DeFratus, Horst, and Diekman which is good because whoever is on the roster in April may not be there in October but at least you have plenty of depth and viable options. Don’t forget you have Contreras (probable should retire and be bought out), Herndon and Stutes coming off injury that are all major league adequate may be able to contribute. Depending on how Bonilla pitches in spring training he may be able to contribute. You have other guys in system that may not be any good but add depth such as Savery, Brummett, Schwimer or Raul Valdez
\r\n
\r\nPitchers Salaries:
\r\nStarters: Hamels-25million, Lee-25, Halladay 20, Kendrick 4, Worley 500k
\r\nBullpen: Papelbon-13, Bastardo-1.5, Lindblom, Horst, Diekman, Aumont, DeFratus all 500k each
\r\n=91.5million (approximately
\r\n
\r\nOverview: As for the Tulowitzki trade I was thinking After reviewing several reports on there minor league system they are looking for 1B, 2B, OF and of course everybody is looking for pitching. I would offer a package of like one of Trevor May, Ethan Martin or Jesse Biddle, Sebastian Valle or Tommy Joseph-whomever you like less, one of relievers like Bonilla who is really hot lately (probably a top 3 prospect in Phillies organizational rankings) DeFratus and another low prospect in A ball. They have a lot of top prospect middle infielders in low A ball like Stephen Walding, Roman Quinn and Greene (not Larry)
\r\n
\r\nThis gives you total salaries of give or take of about 158 million which is way under the luxery tax threshold. If people fell need be we still could go out and get a Bourn or Upton, Victorino or Pagan, Grady Sizemore or the Phillie killer Scott Hairston. The ideal option is trading for Ellsbury but I don’t see anyway that happens. You even have enough o spare if you feel the need to go get a setup man like Mike Adams or even an incentive laden contract for Madson depending on how much of a bad taste he has for Amaro
\r\n I think only a few adjustments are needed to put this team back into the playoffs and just the simply subtraction of Chad Qualls give you at least 5 more wins and probably in the playoffs this year. I am sure I am going to get trashed but let me know what everybody thinks. I am too lazy to proofread this as I am tired from writing it all so I apologize for typographical or grammar errors.\r\n

\r\n Part of me thinks that the way the Phils BP finished the season and the amount of young arms it has RAJ will only settle for one BP arm. I think the BP arm will either be Madson or Adams.
\r\n
\r\nOutfield I think we sign Melky to a 1 yr deal and BJ Upton. I also think we bring in Youk to play 3B. I think Melky and Upton get us a little bit younger which is what we need, allowing some of our Minor Leaguers one more year to mature or show what they have.
\r\n
\r\nI could still see RAJ surprising everyone and signing someone to a big contract (Hamilton) or pull off a big trade, because thats what he does.

\r\n Brown maybe should platoon if the Phillies aren\'t struggling and Jon Mayberry is hitting well. How many guys can we afford to develop at the big league level and still reach the postseason? Right now we\'re talking about letting Ruf and Brown start and for the moment, Galvis is the de facto starter at 3b.
\n
\nIf a platoon adds a win in expected value, then you probably have to do it.
\n
\nI would like to see the lineup re-designed. With the guys we already have...
\n
\nUtley
\nRuiz
\nHoward
\nRuf
\nRollins
\nBrown
\nCF/3B
\n
\nIf those are Upton/Headley then you can bat them in any order so long as Utley, Ruiz, and Headley are in the top 4. If they could pull off something resembling that, we\'re going to have a very potent lineup, that makes Brown or Ruf (or their platoon mate) the 8 hole hitter.\r\n

\r\n I would like to see the phillies go after Headley, maybe bring Madson back as our setup man again, then see if they could go for an outfielder that doesn\'t strike out so much. I see alot of people calling for Bourn or Upton, but these two combine struck out 324 times. I would like them to go after the likes of Ichiro or Pagan, these are really good CF that make the pitcher work everyday.\r\n

\r\n I see them signing BJ Upton for CF. Platooning Scherholtz and Ruff in LF and Brown in RF. I could see them trying to trade for Chisenhall or Seager or sign Youkilis for 2 yrs. Only way you get Headley is with (worley, Brown, Aumunt, and Galvis) . I expect big money to go toward Offense with a mild play at RP and maybe a 5th starter.

\r\n Question...I understand that Chase Headley is clearly talented, albeit it a late bloomer, but is he the guy you really bust the farm for? I usually trust your evaluations A Team, and Im not sure if you were saying they should trade those guys for Headley or if you think thats what its going to take...but if its either case, I say no way. Youre essentially trading your two best pitching prospects, your best relief prospect, and a young solid 3-4 slot starter in Worley for a guy that busted out at age 28 and will be 29 by the time the season starts. His former career high in HR is 12...he struck out 157 times...Why not toss that same offer to Mets for David Wright? that offer is better than any recent offer we\'ve made for Cliff, Halladay, Oswalt and Pence.\r\n

\r\n Headley is an excellent fielder as well as an above average hitter. He may be a late bloomer in that he finally hit at Petco, but he\'s actually been good away from Petco for a couple seasons now. I\'d love to get him but not for a huge price. I think the phillies are too limited right now in giving up prospects:\r\n

Howard/Utley/Rollins are in that same Boat...We also should worry because these guys are getting older while guys who had a good year Ruiz/Krats/Franz/Kendrick will all come back down to earth or fall off the wagon all together. We won 81 games wiith a good amount of guys over achieving and that concerns me. Win or lose this year we need to get young. I would not bring back Utley or Doc when their contracts are up\r\n

\r\n For those who are wary of giving up prospects, you need to recognize that not all prospects are created equal. Unfortunately, the bulk of the Phillies best prospects profile as role players. That includes the three I suggested we deal for Headley.
\n
\nConsider this, of the large bundle of prospects the Phillies have traded recently, how many have contributed positively at the big league level? It\'s a short list.
\n
\nCarlos Carrasco has been a fine back of the rotation pitcher and missed all of 2012 with injury. Kyle Drabek has been bad. Anthony Gose got a cup of coffee but has big holes in his game. JA Happ turned pumpkin. Jason Donald, Lou Marson, and Michael Taylor are fringy.
\n
\nThe only one\'s we might regret are still prospects.
\n
\nAll those names above were better prospects than what we own right now. So if we can flip them into a Chase Headley quality player, I\'d advocate for it. fwiw, he\'s entering his age 29 season.\r\n

\r\n Even though he wasn\'t a home grown product I think a lot of people look at losing a young guy like Gio Gonzalez and cringe when the team trades specs. But I get what you\'re saying. For every GG there\'s going to be 8-12 Kyle Drabeks. Just wished the return on these trades were higher\r\n

\r\n Upton should be the priority for the outfield. I don\'t quite understand all the love for Headley. Certainly he is an upgrade but IMO not for the prospect cost. Can someone educate me on why? Ateam seems like you have flipped your view on prospects. Normally I\'m a guy who would give up a on prospects for MLB proven talent but Headley doesn\'t seem like the guy I\'d give too much for to acquire.\r\n

Its mostly because he doesnt see the specs we have(biddle, may, etc) as HUGE MLB impact players. I believe he has said multiple times that they are good mid rotation specs. Headley is a great player, especially away from petco\r\n

I didnt understand all the fuss about Headley, then I looked up his stats and they were pretty absurd this year. Not many people would know these numbers without looking them up... .286 avg, 31 HR, 115 RBI (led NL)...would love to add a guy like him to the lineup...but the problem could be that the Padres do not want to deal him...they made some weird signings during the season by extending Quentin and Houston Street, plus they went on a hot streak at the end of the season...they may not be so willing to deal him now.
\r\n
\r\nIf Youkilis\' option is not picked up, hes a guy I would take a chance on. Veterans have down years all the time then bounce back...look at a guy like Lance Berkman...Youk could come in and be a good defensive 3rd basemen and add some pop to middle of our lineup...

\r\n More than that actually. They have mid-rotation upside. Some things have to go right to even get that far. Or things have to go "not wrong." Ever hear of TINSTAPP?
\r\n
\r\nMore experience has taught me that there are prospects and there are prospects. If a guy doesn\'t have super star upside and isn\'t already near peak ability, then the numbers say he\'s trade fodder.

\r\n Onto the Padres thought process...
\n
\nThey need to deal Headley this offseason or at the deadline to maximize the return on him. That\'s not to say they\'ll deal him at all of course. With new ownership in place, they could very well decide to sign him long term as a franchise cornerstone. If so, you would expect them to trade Jedd Gyorko for a cheap, veteran pitcher.
\n
\nThey could also hold Headley until the deadline to see if they are in contention and then trade him and call up Gyorko. That\'s the worst case scenario for the Phillies.
\n
\nThe best thing the Phillies can do is put a big offer in front of them today. Convince the Padres that they are going to trade him and then worry about being the ones who get him later. I don\'t know if that tactic works in real baseball, but it\'s very effective in fantasy.\r\n

\r\n Youk breaks down but he is a more productive hitter (a more appropriate for this team type of hitter) than Polly was. Polly broke down just as much, if not more, than Youk as well. Obviously I know the Phillies aren\'t going after Polly again but Youk is the kinda batter you can bat 2nd or 5th and be happy about it. A more 1 year plus an option or two wouldn\'t be a bad deal and like I said even a 2 year deal I\'d be fine with. Anything more and another team can have him. I\'m not sure what type of team would want him though considering his inury history. He\'s more of a filler type at this point which is what he\'d be with the Phillies.
\n
\nHeadley is who everyone should want first though.\r\n

\r\n I think Headley would be best but the price might be too high
\n
\nIf Headley\'s out maybe pick up Jeff Keppinger for 3B. Plus he could spell Utley at 2B and Frandsen can cover 3B
\n
\nAs much as I would like to resign JP perhaps spend some $ for an upgrade to BJ Upton
\n
\nNeed some GOOD middle relievers and a setup guy. Then if there\'s any room maybe an innings eating starter like the old Blanton\r\n
