See this handsome thing to your left?

He thinks the Phillies should let Ryan Howard walk after this year instead of a.) offering arbitration and subsequently, a new 1-year deal or b.) attempting to iron out one of those long term deals for arbitration eligible players that seems to be all the rage these days.

Thankfully, there’s a website that puts these guys in their respective places. And that website is Fire Joe Morgan. Take it away, Junior:

He followed up his 2005 rookie-of-the-year performance by hitting .313 with 58 homers and 149 RBIs with a 1.084 OPS in 2006. Then, he dropped to .268 with 47 homers, 136 RBIs and a .976 OPS last season.

A .976 OPS!!! How dare he (multiple interrobangs)?!!??! This was only good enough for 7th in the National League, tied with that other loser, Chase Utley, who I’ve been meaning to kick off the team as well.

Jimmy Rollins should go. Cole Hamels is dead weight. Give me Pedro Feliz, the ghost of Jim Thome and the corpse of Kris Benson and I’ll give you a pennant and a roller-coaster ride of a season!

And there’s more where that came from, Gerry!
