Here's some real news. The 2017 Baseball Winter Meetings will take place Dec. 10-14, at the Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin Resort in Orlando, Florida. Perfect spot for serious discussions.

Yeah, can't wait to see what we do--although probably not too much considering there are a lot of young guys who figure to be part of the teams future for the next 5-7 years.

Phillies will try hard to trade Galvis and Hernandez. I think it will be a mistake to trade either one until
somebody else steps up and earns their spots. Trading Franco or Joseph makes more sense to me.

Spot on Northeast. Just to make those two deals makes little sense right now.

Yeah, but Franco, 25, deserves more work here despite the disappointments so far. If he can just add 20 points to his average and cut down on Ks his .230/.281 line would rise and he might reach 30 homers and 90 rbi. I do see a better than 50-50 chance of that happening.

The only way he will get more playing time is if Crawford goes to the minors for more seasoning. Crawfords hitting needs to improve a lot. Since this makes sense, it probably will not happen.

There's so much to figure out. Barring a key trade, I still see Cesar, JP, and Franco for the three positions until Kingery comes up and proves his worth.

The Phillies should hire you two (jvett, Northeast). We would DEF improve if they did!!!

Agreed, retro. Please send the FO an email recommending us. Wait, maybe we should let _phillies_ weigh in.
