Isn’t spring the time for hope? lol

He’s also been rather absent from the field over the past couple of days.

So far I cannot see how he will ever play at the major league level.

I think you’re better off trying to get him back on the right track now than to trade him off at a discount.

I will be surprised if the Phillies don’t bring back Victorino. Hoping for the best on Gillies, but I think it’s hard to know what to think of him given how little he has played over the last two years. I agree he could definitely make himself a big part of the picture if he has a nice 2012.

Don’t know what to make of Galvis, but I do hope he keeps hitting. If we have to pick, I think we want him focused on offense rather than learning new positions, but maybe we don’t have to pick. Have to admit to being less than thrilled with Martinez’s homer the other day.

If he is the utility infielder and Martinez is the starting SS in Lehigh Valley, I won’t be too upset.

I don’t know that you are going to get Brown-like value in a trade at this point. Everybody in baseball seems to know that the Phillies are down on the guy, so they are going to try and lowball the team in any trade offer. Trading him for another prospect probably won’t work, as prospect for prospect trades are just fairly rare. The last one I even remember happening was Golsen for Mayberry. That worked out fairly well for the Phillies.

Tyson Gillies is the other Phillies outfielder that I’m interested in tracking this spring and through the minor-league season. I really think he has a chance to be the CF next year if Vic leaves and he can stay healthy, neither of which I am sure will happen.
