schwep76 Posted August 27, 2006 Share Posted August 27, 2006 Gillick sure seems like he's changed his mind on the whole "we won't contend for the playoffs until '08" idea. He's going for it now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BB61 Posted August 27, 2006 Share Posted August 27, 2006 Gillick sure seems like he's changed his mind on the whole "we won't contend for the playoffs until '08" idea. He's going for it now. I think the team changed his mind for him. I don't think anyone banked on them making this run. Guys like Liberthal, Nuñez, and Geary who were doing nothing at the beginning of the year are producing, they have depth behind the plate with Coste, and the money players are doing what they do best (save Burrell, who still looks clueless at the plate).This is an excellent move. He's a good veteran bat, a good outfielder, and he can play 1st every now and again to give Howard a day off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Camden Crazy Posted August 27, 2006 Share Posted August 27, 2006 Thanks for taking him off of our hands just a few at-bats before his 2007 option gets kicked in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VandyDelphia Mike Posted August 27, 2006 Share Posted August 27, 2006 Conine has a reputation for being a Phillie-killer when with Florida, and even to some extent with Baltimore. The Phillies will hope he has unlearned that trait now that he will be on their side. NCAA Baseball Champions | 2014, 2019 facebook Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
