Well, it's a good move to ramp up for a 2011 run with Roys at the top of the rotation.

From the article and I also heard this on 97.5 today:

The current edition of Baseball America reports that "no team has more talent in A ball than the Phillies." And it's believed the Astros would get one or two players from that prospect pool.

Granted they're not major league ready but this is still encouraging

[BigEd76]

and that's with Singleton and Cosart off-limits, so they'd be looking at guys like Anthony Gose, Trevor May, Sebastian Valle, Jonathan Villar and Jiwan James

as long as they keep gillies and aumont I'm ok with it

also, why would saying your goin to pick up his 2012 option would hold up the deal.  just say you will and if you don't want to pay him after 2011 get rid of him.  obviously amir has no problem with getting rid of ace pitchers for next to nothing.

because you lose all credibility in future trades if you do that.  plus, i'm sure when something like this happens, it's not just going by word.  the phillies would probably have to pick up his option right there and then.

also the Phils are already committed to $130M-$140M in 2012 without Rollins or Hamels...
