Comments on: How to win in baseball with no runs down http://www.philliesflow.com/2010/12/01/how-to-win-in-baseball-win-no-runs-down/ A fan's Philadelphia Phillies blog Wed, 19 Jun 2013 22:50:45 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.5.1 By: Jim http://www.philliesflow.com/2010/12/01/how-to-win-in-baseball-win-no-runs-down/#comment-47523 Jim Tue, 07 Dec 2010 14:40:24 +0000 http://www.philliesflow.com/?p=1655#comment-47523 Unless Dom has a terrible spring, he won’t be back in AAA IMO. He’ll be 4th outfielder on big league club.

Now.. if Phils do bring in help, then one of {Gload, Francisco, Brown} is a spare part that should be traded or demoted.

You should get that nausea problem looked at. Cody Ross, at least, has proven he can hit routine fly balls that fly over the CBP fence, like a good Phillie :)

Crawford is young(er). Phils could make a play. Though I doubt they’d offer more than 5 yrs. Depends on whether he wants to chase the money or win a ring. Yankees said to be in play, but they’d be doing it to make Swisher or Gardner available in trade. Have a hard time taking Yanks seriously here. Unless they lose Lee sweepstakes.

Side Note: Phils still said to be in play with Lee. H2O+L is a bit gross. Gluttonous.

I really don’t think he can play outfield on a regular basis, though. I don’t think he will. Francisco seems like he’s sure to get a lot more at-bats next year. Beyond that, I don’t know what might happen.

I really don’t think there is any chance to get Crawford. Even if by some miracle they can move Ibanez, Crawford is going to be looking for a bigger contract than Werth got, and I can’t see the Phillies doing that.

Based on the outfielders currently on the roster, my guess is the RF for the first few weeks/months is Glo-cisco with Brown the every day RF in Lehigh Valley.

Hopefully Amaro comes up with the D option. Francoeur/Matt Diaz isn’t good enough. Sadly, I don’t think Brown/Francisco is, either. Third, short, right and maybe left look like the places where the Phils can help their offense. I’m not sure how they are going to get it done in any of those places. Hopefully Amaro is out there looking for some magic as we speak.

Which leaves “B”. Really? How about “D”: a trade. But for whom. And who goes?

A) Crawford
B) Franceour
C) Brown-cisco

I expect C.

There is always the possibility of a trade as Amaro has been known to surprise us on that front.

Are there decent right handed bats out there anywhere to hit behind Howard?
