The Phillies

Revere is a young Juan Pierre. I'm annoyed that Minnesota traded him since I had him at $5 in my AL keeper league.

 

I didn't see this one coming. REALLY hate sending Whorley and to a degree May. I know nothing about this guy but if he is a younger Pierre I can live with it. I'm seeing where they have him penciled in as the #8 hitter which I'm not thrilled with. The no homers doesn't bother me but I'd really like to see his average improve from his career .278 average. Still looking to see if he has any base stealing ability. This opens the door for Cloyd to step into the rotation behind Halladay, Lee, and Hamels with Kendrick being the 5. Really need Utley to get back to his old self as well as a full season from Howard. That and Dominic Brown living up to the hype from a couple of years back. I also read where the Phillies are moving Darin Ruf to left. They will need every bit of Reveres range to make up for Ruf.
Still makes me sick to think of Mayberry as a step away from being an everyday player. Now to address a setup guy for Papelbon and get a 3rd baseman since from what I read M. Young veto'd the trade

 

So Michael Young is a Phillie and the Phil's will only pay 6 mil of his 16 mil contract for next year. I can live with that. Still need someone to setup Paplebon unless their sold on the Pillielp Aument guy.

 

Hello mike Adams. Finally a quality setup guy. Chad Quails still sucks balls.

 

Relievers have volatile season results, so don't be surprised if Adams suddenly sucks as well. I can't believe relievers are getting so much money this off-season.

 

It was a good day for the Phillies. Signing Adams who is miles better than Quaills and Lanahan to be the #5 guy. Still hear the Phils looking for another OF (Cody Ross). Not warm and fuzzy with Brown and Ruf as the Phillies everyday corner outfielders. People warned against Papelbon and he did well. Think it's more nature of the beast

 

Vance Worley the guy that was traded to Minnesota for Revere and was the opening day starter was just sent down to AAA

 

Worley had one of the worst days I`d seen a pitcher have his last game against the Braves. Hitting batters, walks, giving up a slam and other homers all under 4 innings. Thats quite an accomplishment.

 

Dominic Brown is on fire. 10 homers in 12 days. Hamels finally gets a bit of run support and wins

 

Time to blow this team up. Injuries to their already shitty bullpen, an inconsistent offense and starting pitching that once was a asset is now not. Philly newspapers are claiming the Red Sox and the Yankees have sent scouts to look at Michael Young, The Tigers are seriously looking at Papelbone and now my All Time favorite Chase Utley is being mentioned in trades to an AL team so he can both play in the field and a a DH.

This sucks
