"Meet the Phillies" was taped at the Constitution Center last night.  It'll air on CSN on Monday at 7pm...

on MLBtraderumors.com, there is comment that Buster Olney mentioned a possible Aaron Rowand to San Diego for a reliever trade

you need ESPN insider to read the article though

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

If they trade Rowand and not Burrell, we're never going to hear the end of it.

[SunMo]

if "it" means Billy Beane rubbing his carrot raw, then yes, you're right

[MDS]

its all about vorp

[PhillyGirl]

Buh bye

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

He'll be missed slightly less than Cory Lidle.

Buh bye

Alfonseco is not much of an upgrade, unless you factor in his extra fingers.

I'M an upgrade over Rhodes.

How many games did he completely blow?

Games blown is not an important stat when measuring a middle reliever - just ask Billy Beane

[ice grillin you]

all you need to know about arthur lee is that the phillies would love to have a veteran lefthander in the bp and they wanted no part of rhodes

[MDS]

Yet Manuel ran him out there all season long until he got hurt. Fabio Castro what.

I fully expect to read something like that from him.

I'm still waiting for the photochop of Utley's hands replaced by butchers meat cleavers. Hint, hint.

Him and Howard and killers at the plate but their defense does leave a lot to be desired. My main beef with Howard is that sometimes he goes for balls he shouldn't and gets out of position. But when dude crushes 58, I can't really complain.

I cannot wait for this season to get going. Utley, Howard, Myers, Rollins, Hamels, Freddy Garcia!

Here's my attempt.
