    Utley needs surgery out min 6 weeks

    Peter Gammons reported it

    Yeah, just read it. But Zolecki is saying Gammons reports 4-6 weeks. And not that I'm optimistic, but we all know Utley, and if he's slightly ready to go in 4 weeks then he's going to play.

    And, Fixer - if I recall that homer from Bruce was a cutter on the outside part of the plate. And if that's the case, then pulling a cutter on the outside part of the plate is pretty damn impressive. And who ever is criticizing Halladay for giving up that homer to Votto should go back and watch where that ball was - practically at his feet. It's funny because you could see Votto adjusting the best he could to Doc in that AB. He went from his usual upright stance to squatting, then boom.

    want an optimistic spin? .......if there was any issue with this knee, at least he'll be able to rest it. there, that's the best i can do.

    6 weeks...i wouldn't be surpised if he's out till end of august.

    i still think we'll be alright. hopefully amaro can get someone in here who is somewhat serviceable and then pull the trigger on a myers or some other mid rotation type starter. i dont think the mets or the braves are going to run away with this thing. the bravos beat up on some bad teams last month while we were going through the al east...

    If they could get Wigginton, I'd be alright with that. Not a great glove, but a pretty decent bat - especially in contrast to Dobbs or whom ever else they'd play at second.

    yeah, I read that he might be out until mid-september or possibly the season. seems like the phils are trying to sugar coat this injury for some reason.

    I read that the phils were scouting jose lopez of seattle this week while the m's were in NY. That's the guy I want. He can play 2nd or 3rd, so he can fill in for polanco at times too if needed...or they can move polanco back to 2nd. gives them flexibility. and he's a RH bat that could hit 5th (I'd move werth into the 3 hole). the thought of amaro having to make a trade scares the hell out of me. with his recent moves I could see him trading dom brown for randy ready.

    more great news...jared cosart placed on the DL today with elbow soreness. what the fuck

    Yeah, and they made nothing sound good about Utley. Sounding more and more like it's going to be the season. If - and a huuge if - they make the playoffs, then maybe we'll see Chase. Gotta get a starter and 2nd/3rd guy. All prospects should be trade bait except Dom Brown right now.

    I figure they get Polly back at the end of his DL stint. The Phils have been in this position before. If there's a positive spin to put on this, it is they've done this before and maybe this is the exact kind of stress they need. Maybe they need to rally the troops like they did in '05, '06(sorta), '07, and '08.

    next 2 weeks leading up to all star break are crucial. this sounds crazy, but that upcoming braves series could be their season. they get swept, they might be done

    only 3.5 games back but it feels like 20 games right now

    I'd take lopez over those two. He's probably gonna cost you the most though. Any of those three options would be cool.

    I just realized we are discussing ty wigginton to save the phils season. fuck me. I'm going to play in traffic

    Orioles Call Up Josh Bell
    By Mike Axisa [July 1 at 3:54pm CST]
    3:54pm: MLB.com's Brittany Ghiroli spoke to Orioles' president of baseball operations Andy MacPhail, who denied that Bell's promotion had anything to do with a pending trade of either Tejada or Ty Wigginton (Twitter link).

    3:08pm: With Luke Scott headed to the disabled list, the Orioles have called up top prospect Josh Bell from Triple-A according to a team press release. Bell was acquired from the Dodgers in the George Sherrill trade last year, and he's batting seventh in tonight's lineup.

    This is Bell's first time in the big leagues, so the team has already delayed his free agency and arbitration eligibility by one season. The 23-year-old was hitting .266/.311/.455 with 24 doubles and ten homers in 309 Triple-A plate appearances before being called up.

    Since Bell is a third baseman, it's reasonable to think that this move is the first step towards a Miguel Tejada trade, with the team getting a look at his replacement before they go ahead and take the plunge. The Phillies, Twins, and Angels could all be suitors for the 2002 AL MVP, who is in tonight's lineup as the designated hitter.

    Hey, he's like a versatile Dobbs, and he's stroking the ball right now. Who'd a thunk Tad Iguchi would've been a guiding light in 2007?

    Don't like Lopez too much. Nice player, but I think Wigginton's bat would play a lot better here. But Tejada first and foremost. Like you said, either wouldn't cost as much so that's a plus - they're both older, I LOOOVE Tejada's stroke, and more than anything you would be taking on the bulk of salary for lesser tier prospects. Do something right, and go get 'em, Rube.

    the guy who runs the dj/photo/video place where we're going through for our wedding is boys with amaro. went to high school with him and has done work for some of the phils video yearbooks over the years....met with him last night. he said they're downplaying the utley injury and to prepare for him being out for rest of regular season.

    along with predicting multiple big-ish trades, he said he thinks dom brown's gonna be called up a lot sooner than people think.

    take it for what it's worth...

    oh yeah. his place also has awesome package deals if you're looking for such services.

    that is all.
