Good feeling to win a series. Fine pitching and just enough offense. Howard leads MLB in homers with 27. Man, if the Phils got their hands on Oswalt, that would trump Sabathia and Harden.

I’ve been thinking about that this whole time, but refused to bring it up. I guarantee you as soon as he came out in the 9th to hit a walk-off home run Phillies fans will think he’s the man.

I’m glad Bedard is injured, he’d have been a liability to acquire. Let’s go get Oswalt. Also, not saying i’d totally agree with the move or anything, but how would you guys feel about signing Bonds to play in the OF as an extra bat ? He can’t field a lick but would his offensive output be worth the hassle ?

I’d give up a lot to get Duke. Everything Beane wanted besides Marson.

Also, I just read the reason we didn’t get CC is because we refused to include Carrasco or Marson.

Phil – where are you seeing this?

Duke is on the trade market!!! Beane unloaded Harden before he showed off what his real prize could be!!!

doh…my apologies…..should have realized he was already on the team, and was replacing Soriano in the starting lineup..

It’s bullshit that Holliday replaced Soriano on the AS team….he wasn’t even one of the final 5…fucking bullshit!

i think you’re looking at this the wrong way Geoff.

two starts from Happ does not a major league career make, sample size my friend. Happ could be a 4th/5th starter in the big leagues, Carasco could be a good 2nd starter and could help the team later this year or out of spring training next year. you can’t trade a guy of his talent when he’s this close to helping you, certainly not for a rental. Happs are out there, there are more of him in the system right now, Carascos are not.

in signing Lidge the Phillies have created a clear divide: a three year window that they think this nucleus will be at its best. Carasco and Marson are their best prospects and will contribute a lot during that time and shouldn’t be traded (hopefully Marson will be called up at least by the end of the year because I’m so freaking tired of Ruiz).

if you can get Burnett for Golson and mid level guys like Donald and Harman, I say do it. I’m not a fan of oft injured ‘stuff’ guys (especially ones who can and will opt out post this year) but Burnett can help this team and none of those guys are realistically close to helping the big league club (Golson hits like Howard minus all the HRs and RBIs, Donald and Harman are at blocked positions SS, 2B) before their window closes.

“We felt placing Bedard on the disabled list gave us some extra flexibility over the next week,” Pelekoudas said. “It doesn’t change when he would next pitch, and it allows Jim (Riggleman) to have an extra arm in the bullpen.”

bedard to the DL – probably ends that trade speculation

looks like myers will return July 26th against Atlanta, ESPN is reporting that Myers will pitch again Saturday at Reading (timing his spots with Eaton). Eaton out after his next start?

Also, Bedard is on the 15-day DL now so maybe a deal for Burnett?

My ideal 2nd half rotation:

Hamels
Burnett
Moyer
Kendrick
Myers

i realize thats a flip flop but what the hell has carrasco shown ANY of us?

By: Geoff

Geoff — Thu, 10 Jul 2008 20:39:55 +0000

all im saying is legit teams have a policy of not urinating away young pitching once they show theyre decent at the major league level.

if they covet your prospects then give them some of the prospects they covet. dont thrown in happ just because youre afraid to get rid of eaton. eaton is the one who has to go and be paid to get out of here. not happ.

why are you trying to usher happ out the door when he showed you something there?

people want carrasco? fine let them have carrasco. ill take this guy here who i know is effective at the major league level. let carrasco net you that number two guy, not happ.

Oswalt will be fantastic if we can get him but doesn’t look like the Astros will let him go unless they get what they want. Would like to see the Burnett deal work in our favour cost less rather than adding another Jay to the deal, we can move Eaton to the pen and the insurance is there without wasting money. The one I really like as it will cost less and could be a really strong addition is Derek Lowe.
