Hamels and Utley.

[northeastphillyguy]

The Phillies have decided to trade anybody except Utley and Hamels. I don't have a problem with that. Do you?

Where was this information posted to the public?

IMO as much as I love Utley if we can get some great prospects for him, he needs to go if he is willing to leave Philly (wave his NT clause).

I absolutely agree. Hamels, too! Trade both. As I've written in another thread....These 2 will net us the most. IMO, there are 3 guys that I won't trade: Giles, Diekmann, and Ashe.

You don't attend Phillies games so you'd trade the whole team for the Pigs if you had the chance. It's only June so freakin relax

huh? do you have a GPS system hooked up to me? I don't attend games? already saw them back in april at dodger stadium. have tickets for 2 games in August in SF. Regardless, I watch or listen to most games with mlb.tv and yeah, how bad they have been, I'm not as excited about seeing a boring product. I've loved hamels and utley all their careers...but I've seen enough of them to where I wish them well...time to move on and rebuild the phillies!

With 23 other players to trade and about 2 or 3 minor leaguers we can get some prospects. I agree that Hamels would get us a high yield but Utley would not because of his age. Hamels is a keeper simply because we need a number one starter when we rebuild. Top notch starters are not easily replaced and if we trade him it would slow the rebuilding process.

At CBP. Not many fans in Philly are for a wholesale slaughter of this team quite yet. It can be a boring product when those emerging "prospects" like Brown and Asche aren't performing as expected so far. Let's wait and see how the season progresses. Glad to hear you see them in LA and SF.

 

[TheSnowdog]

Phillies should wait until Rollins is 1 hit shy of Phillies record and then trade him to the Cubs for Ivan DeJesus

They also need to include Asche and throw in Maikel Franco

We have a shortage of prospects. That's why it's time to get some! And by the way brown is no longer a prospect!

Yeah, but we're still waiting for him to bloom.

 

[navamind]

I've got a bridge to sell you.

What are you talking about? Browns numbers with RISP this year .339/.403/.571 OPS .974

What more can he do?

Hmmm,. maybe you're being facetious. He could start hitting consistently. Overall he's hitting .218 with .266 OBP. But that's mainly due to his horrible .146 May when he went 13/89. He only has 4 HR and 9 doubles. He's hitting .293 this month. I can't figure the guy out.

I'll take the MoreHead girl.

I was being facetious, but those are some amazing RISP stats considering his overall numbers

 

[Caligula]

Utley would fetch something in return.

And no one is going to want Howard.

So, again these are the players that should go:

Utley
Rollins
Byrd
Ruiz
Burnett
Lee
Papelbon

 

[Retroram52]

Rollins surpassed Schmidt as the all-time hits leader today. As was mentioned on another thread, you can now trade him!!
