13 years is long, but you get his prime years. I just don't think he's a great an offensive player as many believe.

I think the east will be extremely competitive, should be fun.

Update, the more I read the better I like the deal for both.

Bullpen is better this year though. Dave Robertson anchors the back end which gets Neshek into the 8th inning role, big impact there.

And Realmuto is unbelievable defensively. Nobody runs on him. 1.88 seconds from the plate to 2nd base. It's the equivalent of Tom Brady's quick release. That will have an impact on the ERAs of the Phillies starting pitching. Arrieta can go from 3.96 ERA like he had last year to 3.75 due to Realmuto and Jean Segura's defense alone.

Philly gonna be legit no doubt. Its gonna be a good race.

Meanwhile the Nats middle relief/bullpen is the equivalent to Redskins LG situation. same old shit every year.

Update this afternoon...the Nats bullpen is a fucking dumpster fire out the gate. wow 4 runs in the 8th...

FP was talkin' bout "this is the time of year where the Nats figure out what type of club they are."

I've figured it out, they're the team with a dumpster fire bullpen thats only going to win games where they put up 8-10 runs.

Holy hell who was the talent evaluator that signed off on this bullpen?
