MAKE THE TRADE FOR HOLLIDAY RIGHT NOW…

OUR PITCHING IS FINE ITS OUR OFFENSE WHO CAN’T HIT…ADDING A .340 hitter IN THE LINEUP CHANGES EVERYTHINGGGGGG

But that isn’t to blame Cole at all for these loses he’s taken this year. He has taken a loss or ND in four 1-run games. I would love to see Holliday in this lineup more than anything but I find it very radical of fans on this site to call for a trade every time we take a loss and completely switch their view when we win. Let’s be honest, the Holliday and Fuentes deal is entirely too rich for our tastes but if we somehow only get Holliday for lesser than Marson, CC, Vic, and someone else, I would seriously consider. I know that our bullpen has been shaky the last couple times out but their very capable of doing their job, just use the right guys.

I really didn’t think the Holliday/Fuentes trade was for real…and now I hope it is. Lots of people have been saying the Phils should either go ‘all in’ this season and go for the World Series, or stick with what they have and hope to contend for the next few years with the nucleus as it stands now. The Rockies deal would be a signal in the win now attitude, obviously, but they could keep Holliday past this season if they wanted to. The Morning Report in the Inquirer had a pretty interesting scenario. Either way, having a .340 hitter in your lineup would definitely perk up that situational hitting, yeah?!

starting to realize that they really miss aaron rowand… last year, in all of those MOB situations after howard would strike out… he seemed to always get the big hit. Now we just have jenkins, feliz and ruiz doing exactly the opposite.

let me get this straight you have howard, utley, rollins …2 straight mvps with a third one possibly on the way….and burrell having an all star season…and your all crying to get holliday? and willing to give up your best prospects for him? dont you philly fans ever want to win anythinggg? its sooo clear that your starting pitching is crap…. and last week you were all on here saying how bad you needed pitching…. nowww your pitching is fine this week and you need hitting? GET A CLUE.

Rivlez, aren’t you a Mets fan?

I don’t want to give up marson though…throw golsen in that trade and not give up marson because that would be tragic to have to go through a another season with ruiz hitting .190

Throw Donald in the trade instead of Golson or Marson. Our OF is thin. We need Golson.

Is Marson Major League ready next season?

marson will be up next year and golsen strikes out to much to play for this team exspecially since we strike out already to much….

idc who we put in the deal but im totally fine with them giving up vic CC donald and some1 else

your pitching isnt losing you games this week…. but i bet you it will lose you a few this week. And then everyone here will be saying how bad the pitching is again.

I think those are all fair considerations. To ask for every good prospect we have and our starting CF and leadoff guy is unacceptable.

At least they’re talking. There is a chance.

I still think we could use Randy Winn as much if not more than Holliday. For a much lower price. Holliday doesnt situational hit. He mashes just like Utley, Burrell, and RH. His average is a product of playing in a huge park.

Marson is probably going to be the opening day starting catcher next year. Depending on what they do with Burrelll, they may or may not need Golson in the organization.

They DO NOT want to trade Carrasco, since they project him as a middle-of-the-rotation pitcher, with a chance to be a #2 at some point in his career.

Harman isn’t doing much.. Happ is probably available for trade, but If they are thinking of trading Myers in the offseason.. you need to keep Happ.

Giving you a rotation next year of Hamels, Blanton, Moyer, Kendrick, Happ… or If Carrasco is ready to come up, he gets plugged in and I would imagine Happ is the odd man out..

Carrasco wont debut until 2010 according to Gillick and Amaro. He has a Gavin Floyd brain and arm, they are afraid to rush him.

Mike Flo, you don’t watch the Phillies, you don’t know what we see. Our problems were Eaton and Myers. We lost games cause of them. Let’s see if Myers can come back and pitch well, let’s see how Blanton does. Kendrick usually gives us 5 strong outings in a row and then implodes in the 6th, rinse repeat. I’m okay with that. Moyer has been ridiculous this year. Hamels is Hamels. The rotation is not our problem, it’s the ability to situationally hit. I’m calling for Winn, Holliday, Nady, or Giles right now. Like they better be starting for us this week against the Mets.

Yeah, well they shouldn’t take the risk to lose the series because then we’re not in 1st place. This line up is pathetic right now.

The Rockies only have a 4 man rotation right now. They’re in a lot of trouble, they might pull a trigger wanting Happ or Myers so they have another starter right now.

There’s no way in hell the Phillies can get Holliday, let alone Holliday and Fuentes without giving up EVERYONE and the Phillies won’t do that.

Phil, why would the last place Rockies trade for Happ and/or take on Myers’ contract?

All I’m saying is I’m a Phillies fan and I don’t go on Mets sites and pretend like I like the Mets and talk like I’m part of the team or something. If you like the Mets, don’t pretend that you don’t. Just cause someone called you on it doesn’t mean you have to pull some bullshit insults out of your ass like “go screw yourself.”

The Holliday trade would be so clutch if we could pull it off. We have to go al out for it. Tim, think you could scratch up a few article quotes and make it a post for us?

And Dan I don’t pretend I like the Phillies. I never said I hated them. Like I said i’m a huge baseball fan and have interest in nearly all teams (except Braves). Can I please be a Phillies fan?

Haha Phil. I would do that only if we can get Howard, Utley and Hamels. Deal? That would fill our needs. I don’t go bashing the Phillies just because they are the Phillies and it’s supposedly in my blood. Last year the Mets did terrible at the end of the year and Phillies took advantage of it and put them out of their misery. Let me ask you this, I don’t mind the Yankees, why would I hate the Phillies?

I really like Wright a lot but I like Reyes more. Wright sometimes is just not clutch sometimes and does things that drive me crazy like wiffing with the bases loaded. Then he does this thing at 3rd where he like pumps the balls before he throws and I’ve seen him make an error like 4-5 times when doing this. Other than that he is great. Since you admitted that, I’ll easily admit that Utley is one of my favorite players and IMO the best 2nd basemen in baseball.

Utley is the best 2nd baseman in baseball. That’s a no brainer. Wright isn’t the best 3B, but that’s only because of A-Rod.

I like David Wright and I HATE Jose Reyes…… Reyes is easily one of the most overrated players in all of baseball.

Wright is a complete player, maybe not the greatest 3rd basemen ever, but his fielding percentage was pretty good last year.. Not good enough to earn the Gold Glove he won last year (over our own Pedro Feliz, Chipper Jones, and Aramis Ramirez) … but Wright is solid and doesn’t talk too much smack.
