Five To Six Teams Still Trying To Deal For Hamels | ChatPhillies.com

Why would they be interested in Boston catching prospect Blake Swihart when they have old man Carlos, old man Nieves, Cam Rupp, and Joseph (shit, maybe that's the answer but I guess there's no confidence in the last two). The priorities are all wrong. We need young slugging OFs and Hamels can give us that.

I saw where the Phils bolstered the farm by adding 28 year old LHP Anthony Vasquez ERA 8.90, 29 inns, 13 HRS in 2011 and 2012 brain surgery. He'll go far. Good luck to this guy anyway.

The guy must be broke. Amaro might want to team him up with lardass for a 1-2 punch.

I bet braindead still thinks he has it. What a complete dolt.

cross off the padres. I guess Cole is not going to pitch for his hometown afterall.

I didn't like the prospects on the Padres anyway. Send him to Texas for Joey Gallo

Wait, did I say Joey Gallo? Joey Gallo is dead!!! I meant Joey Callo

Two Yutes, Cedrique!

Here is the latest from ESPN and their take on the Phils. Apparently, the Phillies have admitted it is time to rebuild so these ESPN bumpkins are predicting Hamels goes, Utley goes, and hopefully we will finally unload Howard.

Do we really want Amaro at the helm to rebuild this team? Or is Gilick running the show and Amaro is nothing more then a puppet?

While it's good to hear that Amaro believes he needs to "win the deal" in order to trade Hamels, I'll believe it when I see it. Plus if Hamels stays here for while longer, we'd better hope he doesn't have a wtf year as all eyes will be on his every performance.

"Master trader" Ed Wade is still with the Phillies as special consultant to Amaro.

I have my own theory about the Phillies this year. They want to cut the payroll down to 120 million or less in order to make up for the lost revenue due to poor attendance. They can afford to keep Hamels.
But would prefer getting prospects for the future. I get that. But Howard is a big problem. They will be forced to play him this season and that will rob time from some younger players developing. They need to offer Howard to any takers and pay all but 0ne million per year of his salary. Dom brown the party every night guy should be traded or sent back to the minors. He can not track a fly ball down. IMO.

I agree Northeast, but this FO gave Howard and Utley and others these big contracts that have just hamstrung the rebuild effort. Now all of a sudden they decide to cut salaries. Dumbasses have painted themselves into a corner and then all of sudden realize they painted themselves into a corner.

I do not have a problem with Utley, he is solid as can be. I think fans will show up with more young talent in the lineup. Youth can bring excitement. We need to focus on getting on base and scoring more. this is not complicated stuff. Unless you are Amaro. He doesn't understand what getting on base means to scoring runs.
