Should the Phillies have re-signed Brett Myers?
Myers has got some versatility, I'm surprised they didn't at least try to make him an offer at a lower rate. Must have been all that silliness with the black eye that put them over the top on this decision. That $12 million a year will come in handy though,so Brett, thanks for your service.
Peace...
How do you misspell contract...twice???
Later Brett, bust of a 1st pick..
Brett was a great pitcher but its time to move on...thanks Brett and good luck
Brett, thanks for the memories and your part in the championship year.
Little surprised. Would have liked to see them sign him to a 1 yr deal to get him ready to be a closer in case Lidge isn't the guy that wy he too can test free agency next year and be better suited for a long term contract.
this is a good move. he'll command way more than he's worth in free agency. the Phils have glaring needs to fill, and another starter and or non-lefty back-end reliever whose coming off injury is not one of them. pick up atkins and derosa to fill third/utility man du jour and them sign a couple decent relievers.
I hope he kept some of the $15 million. He'll never see that again.
Great Move Boom Out Of Here!!!
Good luck Brett...maybe you can get a starting job with the Mets!
This isn't really too surprising. Myers' production hasn't been there due to his injuries. He made a good effort at rehabilitating himself last year, but I don't know if you keep taking a risk on him. What probably sealed their decision was the fact that Myers had so many off-field issues. The Phillies are one of the best organizations in baseball and this season indicated just how dedicated they are to the fans. Dealing with Myers' issues makes it hard to justify when you don't know where his performance is going to be. I wish Myers the best of luck in his future pursuits.
I think sometimes Myers was worried about how many tatoo's he had, instead of winning ballgames. Just another .500 pitcher.
Good riddance, head case. I feel bad for the team that decides to make him a starter, actually, I'm lying, I'd careless. Just glad he's not coming back.
another right handed pitcher departs
