Revere to the Jays

Ben Revere to the Jays for Alberto Tirado and Jimmy Cordero.

In other news the Jays will consolidate the remains of their farm system into one team.

IMO he's so under-rated and I never understood why he was pretty well despised here in Philly.

His lack of power and walks and his erractic defense, mostly his lack of arm strength, were the most common complaints but he hit right around .300 and stole plenty of bases.

IMO he was a big upgrade over the aging Jimmy Rollins, and I just never understood why fans were always "hatin'" on him...

And Jimmy played en elite defensive position, Revere was in the outfield and was awful at it.

He'll soon be jacking out A/C aided, stolen-sign Home Runs before you know it.

The "man in white" changed his shirt to navy blue. I'm surprised no one has noticed.......

I agree. Underrated and under appreciated. One of my favorite Phillies. Has good speed and always hits for average, with his average usually going up as the season went along. Hope the 2 pitching prospects turn out good for the Phillies. Time for the Phillies to start thinking about making Pete Mackanin permanent manager. Pretty immpressive what he has done with the team since the All-Star break. Go Phillies!

Looking at his stat page his OPS+ have been 72,89,93,94,98 .... a 100 is an average player.
His WARs are 0.9, 2.6, 0.8, 0.7, 2.3.. also kind of average.

This leads me to agree with you.
Phillies did a good trade.
