Ill actually increase pence odds to 80%. They gotta get rid of some money because they won’t be getting playoff revenue and pence is the most manageable big ticket trade bait

My odds each player in the article is traded :

Blanton 95% contract almost up, some1 will give us a wooden nickel for an inning eater

Lee 1% too many years and too much money left on his deal

Pence 65% has value not a ton but some. Can’t think the Phil’s are very happy with him and can’t imagine they want him back next year.

Pierre 50% could get us something minor which is good considering we got him for nothing this offseason.

Poly 10% can’t see anyone wanting him especially with him being on the dl.

Rollins 0%

Vic 5%

I think there is a 10% shot that doc gets moved. Most likely not though, if the Phil’s don’t rebound next year he could net us a late haul next trade deadline pending he remains healthy.

We’ll trade you back Ibanez for Victorino! LOL (Yankees)
But seriously

Phillies have become a mess and its sad because I respect the Phillies more than any Philly team and I want to see them to continue that success like the Yankees because lets admit it. The Phillies and Yankees are very similar now because of our spending we are among the most hated in the league because we land some of the top players in free agency and etc.

For years as a Yank fan all we hear from everyone is you win games because you spend money and you take away all the good players and im like…Uhhhhh and whats wrong with that? now that the Phillies are in a position to do that I find now a lot of Phillies fans understand how us Yankees fans are spoiled rotten.

Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports that Joe Blanton’s medical records have been faxed to the Orioles’ orthopedist.
It’s unclear whether this is just due diligence or if the Phillies and Orioles are close to an agreement. Blanton has a 4.59 ERA and 115/18 K/BB ratio through 133 1/3 innings this season with Philadelphia. While the 31-year-old right-hander isn’t a frontline starter, he would at least eat some innings for a thin starting staff.

I don’t make $#!t up numbnuts! He did know Utley had degenerating knees, they DON’T miraculously disappear, you nitwit! Where did I say, he said Oswalt was a mistake, you moron?!? I SAID HE ADMITTED TO THE MISTAKE, OF TRADING LEE, BY TRADING FOR OSWALT! Isn’t that an admission, to needing another top tier pitcher?!? AGAIN, Hooked on phonics! GET IT, USE IT! BTW, it’s Halladay & Oswalt, NOT Halliday & Oswald, Mr. Superfan

I’d love to see it in writing that he said Oswald was a mistake. He had a great record. He’s added pence, Halliday, lee twice. He didn’t know utley was out. No one did.there you go again inventing stuff.
Who was your ss with no Rollins?

HAC, I’ve argued at nauseum with you, with this. THE 102 Wins MEAN STUGOTS, when you get knocked out of the 1st round! It’s a hollow number, that counts FOR NOTHING! He DIDN’T build this team, he added to it’s nucleus! Miserably, might I add! Although, I had no problem with the Halladay trade, I did have a problem with getting rid of Lee the 1st time. IT WAS STUPID! We had the $$$ for both & got slop in return. Then he admitted to the mistake by trading for Oswalt. His mid season transactions were fine, but almost EVERY ONE of his off-season moves have been HORRID! He has a happy trigger finger, he stupidly overpays, with years & $$$! He has failed, & managed to make the team decline, in EVERY YEAR, since he took over since the WS! He has been given a OPEN CHECKBOOK, & managed to make the oldest team & 3rd highest payroll, in 2011, to an even older team & the 2nd highest payroll, in 2012! He FAILED MISERABLY, in having the forsight to bring in good younger, position players, to replace this old, rapidly declining nucleus, & to have proper back-up plans, for Howard, Utley, & Polanco, knowing Howard WOULDN’T be fully healthy ALL year, Utley has 2 degenerated knees & would be out most of the year, & Polanco coming off of DOUBLE hernia surgery. He should have NEVER, brought back Rollins, & he should have never have rushed to give Papelbon $51M! There were 7 solid closers, out there, & he left our entire BP bankrupt, because he foolishly hoped on AARP Contreras being healthy, unproven kids like Bastardo, Stutes & Schwimmer doing something of significance & bringing back the Stiff Herndon. This team is OLD, PUNCHLESS, HEARTLESS, SEVERELY FLAWED, OVERPRICED, IN LUXURY TAX HELL, & NEED MUCH MORE THAN TWEAKS, YOU BOZO! STOP DEFENDING & MAKING EXCUSES FOR YOUR BUTT BUDDY! He did a BAD JOB, PERIOD!!!! HE DESERVES TO BE CANNED! Everything I’ve stated, is fact, NOT OPINION! YOU ARE WRONG AGAIN, BLIND LOYAL, APOLOGIST! AMARO/ PHILLIES ARE INDEFENSIBLE! PERIOD!!! IF YOU STILL DO, YOU ARE IMBECILIC!!!!
