As you apparently have suggested yourself, the sticking point is that the worst-case scenario is too steep -- you simply cannot let go of such key pieces of the roster, moreover, pieces whose contracts you control for some period of time yet, ignoring the chance that next off-season the budget could be held hostage as Alou did... ]]> feeds@yuku.com ( sturt ) http://evilwontwin.yuku.com/topic/4808 Thu, 05 Jan 2006 22:16:33 GMT http://evilwontwin.yuku.com/topic/4814/t/Phillies-acquire-Ryan-Franklin.html
Right-handed pitcher Ryan Franklin has agreed to terms on a one-year, guaranteed $2.6 million contract with the Philadelphia Phillies, baseball sources told ESPN.com.

Franklin, who was suspended 10 days after testing positive for a steroid, went 8-15 with a 5.10 ERA in 190 2/3 innings with Seattle last season.

Free agent Carlos Hernandez will likely soon re-sign with the Astros.
Hernandez finished 7-1 with a 3.27 ERA in the VWL, and the Astros have received encouraging reports about his velocity. As things stand now, he'd compete with Wandy Rodriguez, Ezequiel Astacio, Fernando Nieve, Jason Hirsh and Taylor Buchholz for two rotation spots. It's likely that a veteran or two will be added to the mix as the... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (UVAstro) http://evilwontwin.yuku.com/topic/4809 Thu, 05 Jan 2006 14:00:57 GMT http://evilwontwin.yuku.com/topic/4816/t/An-idea-I-agree-with.html feeds@yuku.com (Bance Lerkman) http://evilwontwin.yuku.com/topic/4816 Thu, 05 Jan 2006 02:28:12 GMT http://evilwontwin.yuku.com/topic/4820/t/Problems-with-Wilson.html feeds@yuku.com (masstro) http://evilwontwin.yuku.com/topic/4820 Wed, 04 Jan 2006 15:32:08 GMT http://evilwontwin.yuku.com/topic/4812/t/mlbtraderumors-com-Astros-Update.html
