NLDS is a safer bet.

They should win this weak division, so the NLDS is almost a guarantee. Dan swears they are going to make the World Series, but he was to chicken to bet that.

Rumors of straight up trade being laid on the table: Phillips for Cole Hamels. Not sure if this is legit or not.

I don't like it. I like Hamels, but can they sign him long term? Who will play 2nd base? They can't be as good at defense as Phillips and Hamels only helps out every 5 days.

Good trade, considering the Reds biggest hole is pitching. They have a bunch of #3-5 starters and one true starter. They can score runs, and keeping Phillips when this contract expires, is a big question once Votto leaves. Phillips Gold Gloves are well deserved, but last year was a product of home score keeping and having one the year before.

Ok, so lets say this trade happens. Who will be our second baseman?

That move reeks of panic by the Phillies. Fear of not being able to resign Hamels, and fear that Utley's not coming back.

That's why I don't like this idea. Frazier is about our best option right now.
Valaika?
Gregorius?


We've got a good cast of not ready guys, but nothing that will provide Phillips style defense and offense.

You are aware that he does play half of the season on the road and there is no home score keeper to help him out?

I have seen multiple plays at GABP where he should have gotten errors, not saying he should have 20 more, but at least 5 balls that he got a pass on. One he booted it, and then threw it in the dirt past Votto and no error.

I don't know, I feel it is a wash. He doesn't get a positive mark when he makes a play that not many other 2B's could even get to.

Even so, he's still worth a sh!t ton of money, and he deserves it. I just hope he doesn't sign that big contract (for us or any other team) and wind up like Uttley.

Come on, take off the glasses. He makes a lot of good plays, but he doesn't make a lot of plays that other 2B's can't. Its like saying that Stubbs gets to more fly balls than other CF's. You need to stop listening to the Reds home broadcast team.
