Changes in roster are always risky. You never know exactly what you are getting. And then you have waisted a trade.

I think that Donald good be a good ML hitter, but he I don’t think he will be a right handed Chase Utley. He could be a good ML starter though. I wouldn’t mind giving up Donald as much if we still had Cardenas, but now it appears that we won’t have either. Ont he other hand, Mahay would help make this the best bullpen in the NL, he would be out set-up man and get can lefties and righties out. If this Mahay deal is real I like it better than the Blanton deal. The Phillies should have never traded for Blanton and just brought up Happ instead. But who knows, maybe Blanton will prove me wrong.

I got you philsphan….that proposal is crazy too. Maybe I could get the call to play shortstop then. I have a 1.000 fielding percentage in my slow pitch league

He also made some REALLY good moves that appeared to be nothing at the time.. Dobbs, Werth, Moyer, Romero ….

You seriously just have some deep-down reason for hating Gillick that you aren’t sharing with us… like he snubbed you for an autograph or something.. cause otherwise, you can clearly see that he is a good GM who makes every team better, everywhere he’s gone in his career.. INCLUDING THE PHILLIES

tghey already brought it up and it was shot down so fast that it made me think they were lying and it was true.

Geoff when this “secret” trade for Myers goes down… I will officially nominate you as PRESIDENT of PHILLIES NATION..

But nobody is allowed to hear anything, anwhere about the trade before it happens, or it wont count

you can throw in rowand too because it was his first move and i was giving him the benefit of the doubt.

thanks phil..looking

Geoff — Tue, 29 Jul 2008 17:10:07 +0000

hes made some really bad moves that appeared good at the time. freddy garcia…because of that i will never trust him until i see it play out of the field.

exception: lidge, i knew lidge was ann automatic steal when they go thim. but that was obvious.

“dejesus, mahay, grienke for rollins, bartardo should be more than enough”

Keep on dreaming Geoff…And TJ and Wilson thought my proposal was crazy?!

This is a move that gives them a better chance to win now… and doesn’t impact thier immediate future (Carrasco, Marson) either.

If Donald had such great trade value, and he was obviously blocked, don’t you think we would have heard more teams interested in him?

AND…. Did this trade actually go down? I still haven’t seen it anywhere…

Geoff…
Honestly, what makes you not trust Gillick.. his lack of a World Series in his 2 years here?? We’ve improved each of the two seasons he’s been around.. he’s made both good moves and bad… but again, we’ve improved in each of his seasons..

i looked at mahay, his career numbers didnt impress me until this year, when hes having an awesome year, i will admit.

By: Geoff

Geoff — Tue, 29 Jul 2008 17:07:34 +0000

can someone bring up donalds numbers? i need to study that further.

I want Mahay, but I don’t want to give up Donald to get him. Donald, Marson, and Carrasco and the only prospects this team has left that will actually be able to help in 09. I would include Happ he is basically on the team now. Don’t get me wrong, I thin, Mahay would be a good set up guy, but along with the Blanton trade this farm system is more barren than ever.
