Latest Phillies trade rumor...

[Joshua.Roundtree]

1) I never understood why the Phils were so desperate to ship Lee out and get Halladay. I never liked it from the beginning (from a Phils standpoint), and I obviously dont like it right now.

2) Why are Phils fans so desperate to ship Werth out. I dont understand that either. He helped lead you guys to the 08 Series and a WS appearance in 09 as well.

3) Why would the Rays trade Upton for Werth straight up. People are saying the Phils wouldnt do it, but if I were a Phils fan I'd love it, and if a Rays fan I wouldnt.

Not a Phils hater or fan, actually like most of their players a bit (rollins, utley, howard), so these are just unbiassed opinions.

Rays fans would welcome BJ Upton in any other uniform in a heartbeat.

Take less money and win a WS with the Cardinals this year Oswalt! Oswalt is pitching like it's 2006, and with more run support he will pitch better! I guarantee it! The Cardinals would be the favorites in the NL with Oswalt.

Well, they just sent Milt Thompson packing, replacing him with.......Greg Gross?

Cole Hamels has looked 2008-like in his last two starts. Made Pujols looks like a child. NICE

He's a nice guy, but if the hitting is poor... well, blame the hitting coach.

I suspect that right now everyone is on the hot seat, from RAJ and Chollie on down the line. They've turned into the 1993 Mets, all talent and payroll and nothing on the field. Sans the arguments with reporters and water guns loaded with bleach and all that stuff.

You haven't seen the latest Mets 2010 version.
