Phillies Nation

If its serious do you think this will give more motivation for the phillies to acquire a #2 pitcher.

Of course it will. If Myers goes on the shelf for a month or so, it leaves the Phils with an ace and 4 question marks in their rotation. Hamels, Blanton as #2, Moyer as #3, Happ at #4, and Park at #5. That’s downright scary, not to mantion taking the longman out of the pen (unless Carpenter or Carrasco is promoted and Park stays put). If there is any validity to the Bedard rumours, it might become a reality sooner than later. I actually feel that this may become a reality regardless how long Myers is sidelined, if he’s out any time at all. starting pitching is a glaring hole and needs to be remedied if the Phils want any chance at a repeat.

They need help badly, but they need a sure thing at this point, like a Oswalt, Peavy, or Bedard no could be’s or never will be’s

I can’t wait until we make the big trade, but that could be 2 months away . . .

that’s true

hopefully, I would be so excited if we got him.

hmm wow someone really hates Myers ;)

If anything Myers goes on the DL kendrick comes up to hold the spot until the phillies can facilitate a trade i put my money on Bedard or Washburn, Peavy doesn’t seem to wanna leave san diego unless its the Cubs and i don’t think hes very fond of the Bank. Oswalt will be highly overprice because the owner likes him alot. Bedard and Washburn can probably be easier to get with how bad seattle is if anything i go for Bedard at least he has some stuff maybe with the veterans on this team he can mature a little bettter. As far as the farm goes i like to keep Drabek, Savery and Marson, the rest its open season on all of them.

if you go after peavy keeping happ off the table is #1 priority and i do not think we can get peavy without losing happ!! but if we can wow what a rotation that would be for the next three to four years hamels,peavy,happ at the top

There is from what I have read no chance on Peavy, it look like its a cook, or marguis, . They also are in on penny, but I haven’t seen what boston would take, and penny era is high. Charlie might be right the team is still living on last season, and maybe they think that if they want to turn it on they can at any time. I don’t think they have as much motivation at this time, Some way charlie has to kick them in the butt to can them going.

Seriously I’m tired of Myers. This is just an excuse for a bad outing. We didnt hear anything on Friday’s outing against the Yankees. I always thought Myers was going to be the real deal I remembering watching his first outing against Prior in Wrigley n thought man we have our ace but ever since than he has been a disappointment. I think you let him walk after this season. If he needs to go on the DL than its time to call up Carlos i know the number arent there but maybe its time we’ve been waiting on him for 2 years now. If not then we make a deal for Bedard its not going to take much he is in his final year of his contract

I don’t want any part of Bedard, and I cannot imagine for a second that a Peavy would come here to such a hitter’s park. Great if he would. Maybe we should let each of the kids have a start and see if any of them come up hot while we wait for a better trade to materialize? That would be easier to suggest if the Mets weren’t pulling wins out of their a$$es, though.

We don’t need a Peavy… and Peavy would require too much. I much rather get Bedard, a very solid No.2… but that’s if Myers is injured. We have to wait before we pull the trigger on anything.
