He is only 29 years old he is about to hit his prime as a hitter. And didn't an older player get traded recently.....Manny I think his name was. Jroll past his prime trade time?

Lincecum is the right-handed Cole Hamels and won't be going anywhere. I heard a lot of Cain for Prince Fielder rumors, which would be a huge mistake for the Giants.

Of all the Giants pitchers, Sanchez is available, Cain is "untouchable" unless for an amzing offer, and Lincecum WILL NOT GET TRADED.

He's stellar on defense. He's never going to have a year like 2006 again, thats not the point. The point is that he's a big reason for the Phils getting a ring. Keep him.

They just ran the numbers on 610 and with a base salary of 6 mil taking over for burrells spot. They are at 143 mil with raises to everybody except scott eyre who would take the 20% pay cut. That's a 40% increase from last year just keeping everybody together besides burrell. Gonna be tough unless they increase their payroll to 160 Phils can’t afford anybody this offseason and if they trade rollins for a top notch pitcher or matt holliday type their payrolls going to go up even more.

It wouldn't feel the same without him. I couldn't imagine anyone else leading off this team come opening day, or anyone sharing a better chemistry with Utley on the field. But one thing we have to understand is that this is a business, and only very few players actually play their whole entire career in one city. Since these are just rumore, I think we should all just be open, atleast just to listen to the possibilties.

Vic a more natural leadoff hitter, Donald or Bruntlett could bat 2nd, Utley, Howard, Werth (who might hit there all season), Dobbs/Jenkins, Feliz, Ruiz, Pitcher -- is not a bad lineup. If they were to get a right handed power LF and a major league starting pitcher (or 2-3 minor leaguers who are AA/AAA) then Amaro would be stupid to not at least consider it.

Money!We have heard everything that we were close to trading Howard to LA, Conlin hinted that the Phils are playing Donald at 2B now, and Rollins is available. All rumors. The Giants aren't giving up Linceum for ANYONE on our team.Rollins is our sparkplug and would be virtually impossible to replace in the field and lineup. Furcal obviously chokes in high pressure situations. And he did this with the Braves before he committed 3 errors in one inning against us. He isn't a prime time player. Keep Rollins unless somehow the Phils can get Roy Halladay for him (plus one or two prospects). Phil is right- we did offer Rowand the same amount per year just one or two years less.
