Mike Adams to Phillies, 2 yrs/$12 million

[JohnBriggs12]

Another quality bullpen arm off the market.

[Mass Haas]

5/15/01 - Brewers sign RHP Mike Adams as an undrafted free agent

 

How he was available

[jerichoholicninja]

I like Adams but not at that price.

[PrinceEatMeat]

Well, this is exactly why Melvin is staying out of the free agent market. Can't afford these prices. Not worth it.

[wisniewski]

I just saw the Phils signed Lannan too.

[EdgarDiazRocks]

Sigh. I wanted the tall one back. Then again I never wanted him to leave in the first place.

 

YYYOOOOOOOSSSTTT!!!!!

[brewcrewdue80]

What a bunch of good moves. Rather than sign Upton/Bourne they acquire Revere. Toss away Worley and enable themselves to acquire Lannan and Adams in the process. And all this for less than signing Bourne or Upton combined they have 3-1 and I would have to assume the rumor of adding Ross would make addressing 4spots at cost of 1. Well, addressing 3 since Worley/Lannan are equal.

[StearnsFTW]

Ridiculous contract by the Phillies. Again.

[Ennder]

Lannan is not as good a pitcher as Worley and it really isn't close and certainly has less upside. I would have liked this deal if I didn't believe Adams is on the decline. He took a serious step back last year and it wasn't just a flukey ERA and at age 34 this is a pretty risky sign even at that price.
