| Yeah he's uh... rich. The length and price totally shocked me, even once the 'near an extension' broke |

| Apparently we're still trying to get a deal done with Brandon Phillips. | |

| Reds fans have to love the willingness to spend money here. The payroll is never going to be in Red Sox, Yankees territory, but getting close to that 100 million mark looks to be in the cards in the near future.
As for Phillips, he is one of my favorites, but the system is pretty loaded with 2B prospects, so if he doesn't give a hometown discount I won't feel terrible if they let him walk. | |

I mean, he probably won't be worth all that money at the end of his contract, but neither are most of the guys that sign long-term, high-dollar deals. | |
