Philly.com article says that Amaro will seek another proven outfielder. He will probably platoon Ruf, and possibly give him around 350 at bats. Amaros hate for Ruf continues. Since Amaro does not believe that on base percentage is important, this type of thinking will continue to have a negative impact for the future of the Phillies. Ruf projects to hit around 35 homeruns during a full season of play,plus he projects to have an OBO at around 360. I agree that we need another outfielder since mayberry is no longer a viable option, but to not give Ruf one full season to see what type of impact he will have is stupid. Ruf,Howard,and brown in the same lineup can produce a lot of power, and possibly Asche could hit 20-25 homeruns as well. We can get back to scoring a lot of runs again, and that would be exiting! Open your eyes Amaro!
