But it'll depend on how the OF ends up looking.<BR/><BR/>Demp was great last year... but I cant commit more than 3 yrs to him. The way he pissed in his pants in the playoffs doesnt make him a $14 mil SP. But like Ken Ro said... he probably can get that on the open market. Plus there isnt much avail on the FA market for teams to chase after other than CC. Trading Marquis would be a start to freeing up some money, but who could we sucker into taking him?<BR/><BR/>If Demp bolts, reward a loyal guy like Wood. I'm willing to risk a 3 yr deal for him.<BR/><BR/>But come on... if we dont get Demp, replace him with Penny, Mulder, Prior, Clement? Are we going to go back to 2004 and 05 here? One of these names should be added after we resign Demp and deal for Peavy... in the same way we signed Lieber.<BR/><BR/>No to Willis, we have our own disfunctional lefty in Hill. Brett Myers is too up and down. Lets not over value him just because he was in the Phillies WS champ rotation. He was the lone Phil to be hit with an L in the WS by the way. I would take Harang over Marquis and if we arent able to reel in Demp/Peavy.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00909889581099318748noreply@blogger.com
