Should the Phils have been sellers? Buyers? Not sure. I do know we made some recent deals at the deadline and have little to show for it. Question what did we get back for Hunter Pence? Shane Victorino? It is so easy to say get rid of guys….Chooch, Chase. Michael Young, Papplebon etc…but the problem is replacing them with Major League ready players. There just doesn’t seem to be a whole lot of them out there. This team has been beseiged with injuries and the nuances of an intact lineup cannot be overlooked. Chooch, Chase, Dom Brown, Howard, Revere have all missed significant time….our alleged answer for the 8th inning Mike Adams has been out for months. Injuries are the curse of the Philadelphia franchises of late…..we stayed healthy in 2008. There is nothing better than being in the hunt in September….unfortunately it doesn’t look good for us …..but as the eternal optimist the St. Louis Cardinals had a worse record than the Phillies do this year on August 1, 2011….and they went on to win the Series. (don’t hold your breath but stranger things have happened.
