Who makes the schedules for each season? I'm really curious how that process works.

I agree with him that the Phillies were right to hold off on offering a long-term contract, and that what Howard demonstates in '08 will probably go a long way in determining his long (or short)-term future with the club.<BR/><BR/>As fas as I'm concerned, Howard deserved to win this case simply because the Phillies have been making bucketloads of money off of him and, service-time stipulations or not, he deserves to be compensated fairly for that alone. I'm glad also that his season will be starting off on a very positive note, in contrast to the negative one he began last year with - anything to help this team have a good April for once. As long as he isn't so homer-conscious as he was last season, there seems no limit to what he can do offensively.<BR/><BR/>-David (it's a much easier process to post anonymously!)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
