July 26, 200422 yr but the Astros have a better record than us maybe they dont think they can win the WC
July 26, 200422 yr aaauuuughhh! this is so frustrating! however, if this is accurate, it's good to know that the OK has been given to make a move, and that this talk of selling is just trumped-up nonsense.
July 26, 200422 yr this is good news no doubt it shows that the front office is convinced that this is a very good team (so am i) but the way we have been playing......it just might not be our year we will see one thing is for sure, this starting rotation will be dangerous in the post season
July 26, 200422 yr but the Astros have a better record than us maybe they dont think they can win the WC 475922[/snapback] the astros are starting to feel like they are back in it. they beat up on arizona this week...and they wont be sellers.
July 26, 200422 yr if this proves to be true, i think TealShadow has the inside track on the 2004 Insider of the Year trophy......
July 26, 200422 yr If we make a major move at this point then I have to conclude that the organzation believes that we can't risk raising the white flag with the stadium deal still in limbo. Thats the only rationale for being buyers rather than sellers.

One player could get us over the hump and the organization owes that to its fans.
July 26, 200422 yr I know this hasnt been mentioned, and for good reason, but what about Rocco Baldelli? Supposedly, the Phillies are being rumored to be asking about him...
July 26, 200422 yr where did u hear this from 476019[/snapback] I've got my sources... :shifty Ok, ok. I got it from ESPN...
July 26, 200422 yr I know this hasnt been mentioned, and for good reason, but what about Rocco Baldelli? Supposedly, the Phillies are being rumored to be asking about him... 476014[/snapback] What can they possibly give the D-Rays to help them in the future when Rocco is the basically the centerpiece of their future? Silly Phils.
July 26, 200422 yr Phillies fans have mentioned Roy Oswalt, Barry Zito and Carl Crawford at my office....say they have credible sources....i believe that it's just their left hand talking to their right hand....I just keep laughing in their faces.
July 26, 200422 yr I'm not going to claim any "sources" but as long as the Phils refuse to part with Utley, Madson, Floyd and Hamels, and only dangle Ryan Howard (who doesn't even rank on baseball america's top 100), they won't get anything near the level of Baldelli, Zito, Oswalt or even Benson. I found this very interesting, here's how baseball america breaks down the top 1B prospects: FIRST BASEMEN (8) 10. Prince Fielder, Brewers 15. Casey Kotchman, Angels 16. Justin Morneau, Twins 42. James Loney, Dodgers 51. Jason Stokes, Marlins 52. Adrian Gonzalez, Rangers 73. Adam LaRoche, Braves 79. Michael Aubrey, Indians :mischief2

Michael Aubrey, Indians :mischief2 476193[/snapback] I think it's safe to say that Howard has moved up on that list with the year he is having. Definitely ahead of Stokes at least.
