It seems that they can do as…Read More they please, don't be a team player, to try and maintain their stats and forget about the team.

Unfortunately, Utley has zero trade value since he's in the last year of his contract. You say…Read More "thanks", give him a gold watch and let him sign in the AL as a DH and spot 1B/2B. You aggressively shop Howard to the AL, where he can DH. You eat 3/4ths of his contract to do so. You bring up Ruf to play 1B. You trade Papelbon to a contender. Unless somebody floors you, keep Lee.

Anyone who follows the game and this team KNEW they had to play very, very good fundamental baseball…Read More and stay very, very healthy to contend. So far neither has happened consistently enough, though there have been flashes of it for short stretches. I worry more about the injury bug right now because it robs the team of those who - in the recent past - have been more consistent (Utley, Ruiz, even Kratz, not so much Doc). That being said, there's still a lot of baseball left and plenty of time to decide whether to be Buyers or Sellers in July. 8 1/2 games out is not a good sign, but it's still too early to selling guys off. And I definitely wouldn't trade a Domonic Brown at this point regardless. They'll need someone to build around if they do decide to sell off eventually.

Can't have the good with the bad, just like the Phoenix Suns medical staff. Taking credit for doing your job and being VERY, VERY LUCKY! As the Fightins age, expect more injuries to occur. Maybe it's time to change the medical staff along with the head guy....nice runs boys, but the end needs to come sooner or later, and maybe next time a bit more humility during your success, and less spotlight, so when challenges like this season come along, you aren't the focus of why nobody is getting better.

Kendrick has been good and so has Pettibone.Bullpen neeeds to improve . Utley and Howard will get close to their historical averages .Phils outfield is coming around offensively.Phils bench has been excellent. CHOOCH is back in the lineup. That will make a huge difference in consistent starting pitching. He calls a great game and knows his pitchers. 162 games is a LOOOOONG season. This team will gel and win 90 games and gain a wild card spot . I'll take any bets on that.Any takers from you naysayers?

Analysts and Pundits rank this team at #16 from the 32 MLB teams. GOOD...This team needs to be an…Read More underdog. They are #16 because of the perception they wont stay healthy .The biggest concern Halladay. If Halladay doesnt go on extended DL and can pitch 5-6 innings that would be a plus . Kendrick can off set a reduced contribution by Halladay by pitching consistent like he did in the 2nd half of last year. Phillies bullpen needs to prove themselves but make no mistake. This bullpen is light years better than last years slop .Last years group blew 17 games by the All Star break.! The unexpected blossoming of Dom Brown is HUGE. If D. Brown has truly turned the corner the Phillies outfield all of a sudden becomes a strength versus a question mark. Right and Center filed are solid and they can easily platoon left field between Mayberry., Nix and Ruf. The Phillies infield is solid. Howard is 100% and Utley looks rejuvenated and healthy. Young has improved defensively at Third through spring training and is the best pure hitter on the team. Catchers spot is a major strength. Chooch is a top 3 ML catcher who handles the pitching staff well. Kratz is a proven backup with a biig stick and Joseph the Young prospect looks like he will develop into a stud. The bench is solid with Franzen and Galvis. If Charlie uses them frequently he will save the aging infield and keep them healthy for a playoff run. My prediction 90 - 72 and a wild card birth. Maybe another Red October ?
