Trade With James: Brought Together By A Dimwit, Chase Utley Wishes You A Very Merry and Pinstripe-y Christmas

Or Hanukkah, for those of you who, like me, skew Jewish. During trade talks for my most recent trade with Sam, he mentioned that a buddy of his had a Chase Utley hit available for trade, and was looking for something Cardinals in return. I had just shipped off my last St. Louis swag in a trade with Simon, so I hit up my LCS and found a nice Jim Edmonds relic. Sam's friend James was game, and the Utley below was soon mine.An awesomely sweet card with a full pinstripe, plus it's serial-numbered 115/150. A big thanks to Sam for the hookup, and thanks to James for the sick Utley! Enjoy the Edmonds which is presently on its way!

Report: Phillies Inquire About Jorge Posada

Via Buzz On Broad  |  December 24, 2011
  Don't shoot the messenger, but according to MLBTR.com, the Phillies have shown interst in free agent catcher Jorge Posada.  The news is quite surprising because the Phillies appear set at catcher with Carlos Ruiz and Brian Schnieder, and they appear comfortable with their bench players. But then again, Posada can play some first base, which means he could make a...

Should the Red Sox Go After Roy Oswalt?

Via Rant Sports  |  December 26, 2011
Roy Oswalt might be the best pitcher left on the market, but unfortunately he comes with some serious risk. Oswalt has been a quality ace like arm for any top of the rotation, but his back troubles would very much scare me away from making the sign. I take that back. His back troubles would stop me from giving him a multi year deal. It appears Roy Oswalt is willing to take a 1 year...

The Man Who is the Reason for the Phillies Success: Ed Wade?! A Look Inside the Numbers

Via Taking Bad Schotz  |  December 25, 2011
There’s no doubt that the Philadelphia Phillies are in an elite class of baseball teams today. There’s no doubt they were a special team when they won the World Series back in 2008. There’s no doubt that all of the success of this success is due to Pat Gillick and Ruben Amaro Jr., right? Both in their tenure made a few big additions by adding the likes of Brad Lidge, Roy Oswalt...
