Not surprised. Happy? eh, he'll never be the old Utley but he will be serviceable when healthy and I am not sure Galvis will ever be an everyday guy. The only thing for me is that baseball is guaranteed money. The Phils take a risk that he will stay healthy; if he doesn't he should give up the cash from the rest of the contract. We all know that will never happen.Wait until next year is a terrible philosophy
Hope is not a strategy
RIP

I kinda get it. Too often we let some of our guys "leave home". I'm kinda glad he will "probably" stay and retire here. And while he certainly won't be the Chase of old, his quiet leadership and work ethic might just be a good thing as the team changes over.

And while he certainly won't be the Chase of old, his quiet leadership and work ethic might just be a good thing as the team changes over.We're looking for people that are fundamentally different,” vice president of player personnel Andy Weidl said Saturday night. “The love and passion for football, it's non-negotiable. They're caring, their character, they do the right thing persistently, and they have a relentless playing style that you can see on tape. The motor, it burns hot. You see them finishing plays. They have a team-first mentality. They're selfless individuals.

If they are overpaying Utley as sort of a thank you for past work (similar to what the Eagles should have done with Dawkins), I'm ok with that. Utley is a phillie through and through.
But if they think this is the state of his talent/game and risk, then Ruben has serious issues.
Put it another way, if he was a free agent and they signed him to that contract, I'd be pissed.
