isn’t escalona a better option because he’s left handed like eyre?

They better not trade Happ… are you kidding me? He’s now a solid starter in the rotation… you trade him and you’ll have now 2 rotation spots to fill!!!

Well, in defense of Kendrick, he’s looked somewhat better his past couple starts. 4 straight QS, going 7 innings the last two. But still, I’m not sure he’s major league ready again yet.

Boston would want Donald for Penny, presumably instead of Marson. At least, that’s what I read somewhere.

if they trade Haap or Bastardo and let KK go into the rotation then they are stupid.

Both of those guys have much better stuff than KK…and KK has a mental problem (he said so) and he cant get guys out..

he’s not any good.
Sure he was great in ’07 but he doesnt have it..

mlbtraderumors is illuding that the Phillies might be going after Penny in addition to a top line starter. What would it cost for Penny. Marson and what?

We hate Boston. Always will. I support this as a “rivalry” b/c there is nothing I hate more about baseball than the red sox, except the mets of course.

Hey why are you on this website anyways Kasey? Did Red Sox Nation kick you out of their nation?

Well, time to kick some Phillie butts this weekend!!! Lester, Dice-K and Beckett vs Blanton, Bastardo and Happ. Wow, Red Sox should dominate this weekend. Phillies are chokers and will not make the playoffs this year. You guys had to go to extras to beat the Mets who don’t have their first baseman and shortstop and J.J Putz!!! Wow. Lester should kick butt tonight at the Bank of Chokers. Dice-K will pitch a dominate game. And Beckett full game shut out sunday. You guys will be lucky that you get atleast once on base against Beckett. Kyle (Japan Joke) Kendrick might start Saturday. Also Red Sox Nation is taking over the Bank. More than 3/4 of tonights, tomorrow’s and Sundays game crowd will be red sox fans. You Phillies fans sell tickets to us for free because you’re scared of weep pippie Phillies to getting embarassed Red Sox. Red Sox is the original nation in the MLB and trust me Phillies suck at interleague. You guys shouldn’t watch. Go watch Golf or hey the AHL Calder Cup Finals!! Or go watch oldies in the swimming pool!! GAme 7 tonight NHL go watch that. Lester is gonna Malest the phillies tonight!! RED SOX NATION RULES

Off topic but why hasn’t there been a post about the Phillies fan construction worker who just admitted he buried 3 phils jerseys in different locations beneath citifield? this is just awesome.

Actually, here’s one possible explanation: a trade is in the works, but not involving KK. Maybe Happ or Bastardo are getting shipped out in the next day or two, and KK is going to be the guy to pick up a spot start or two?

I didn’t see anything happening this fast, but it’s possible.

KK better not pitch against the Red Sox on saturday cause I’m going to the game! I wanna see Bastardo pitch dammit! I’ll support the guy, but this move baffles me

By: Lewisauce

Lewisauce — Fri, 12 Jun 2009 21:08:04 +0000

“multiple innings guy?” I dunno. Do you think KK can last more innings against the Red Sox than, say, Zagurski or Majewski? And what are we talking, three innings? Either one of those guys can give you two-to-three innings, no problem.

I don’t get this move.

i highly doubt kendrick will start. dont know why they would call him up -i would prefer escalona. anyway, bastardo has pitched pretty well so far so i guess we’ll just have to wait and see with kendrick

With the way the bullpen was used in NYC, they probably need a multiple innings guy just in case. If he starts then there must be somthing going on…

By: ChaseUtleyMVP

ChaseUtleyMVP — Fri, 12 Jun 2009 20:42:04 +0000

if KK starts against the Red Sox I will lose my mind.

Bastardo is fine…he has much better stuff than KK and the Sox have never seen him…that alone is good for 5 innings.

KK would get rocked by the Sox in CBP….
not a good idea to start KK…none at all.

no way he starts.

Bastardo earned another start…
and KK wasnt any good in AAA anyway

The Phils used this year’s option on Escalona by calling him up earlier. He can be sent back and forth between the minors and the big club all season long without using any more options on him. I read a posted comment on phillies.com that Kendrick was called up as some insurance for Happ and Bastardo during the Boston series. It’s possible, but yes, I would’ve thought that Escalona and/or Zagurski would be better bullpen options. Perhaps a trade is in the works. BTW, Brad Penny’s in town.

I think Kendrick will start Saturday and Bastardo will move to the bullpen to replace Eyre. Kendrick last pitched June 6th, which makes him available to start on Saturday, since the Red Sox hit a little worse against right handed pitchers.
