Paying that much for a reliever is idiotic.

Would it still be idiotic if the Phils win 110 games, sell out their arena for 81 games, make it to the World Series, win the whole thing, turn an insane profit and Papelbon closes games 4 and 7 en route to an MVP?

Yes. The act of putting your life savings on 22 black would also still be idiotic even if it happened to hit.

Then, let me take down the huge "what if?" down to something a bit more basic.

If the Phils win the World Series, regardless of who played well, or not, every personnel decision they made was worth it.

That being said the Phils are stupid. His contract passes B.J. Ryan as the highest for a relief pitcher. Anyone remember B.J. Ryan?

You can build a great bullpen with very little money, $10 million per season would go a long way at some other spots on the team.

Sure, I've been called a xenophobe, but the truth is, I'm not. I honestly just feel that America is the best country and the other countries aren't as good. That used to be called patriotism.

Sabo just asked me if we could compare his ring with Mr. Graces. Let it be known that by posting this he has promised me a dinner at Montgomery Inn and he will no longer allow his dog to poop on my lawn.
