Ok this isnt a rumor ive heard, this is just straight from my thought bank. There is some quality pitchers that can be traded for, that we could use in the rotation, to set us off. Now, ive watched Jimmy Rollins his entire career as a phillie, and i never been sold on him. Last year was a hell of a season, and lets face it, he wont have another or close to it. What im thinking is, trade him to the AL while his stock is high. Hes struggling this year, the phillies won, and are winning without him. He might be our lead off guy, but Shane Victorino could be also. Yeah hes a great shortstop, but Eric Bruntlett has show some flash there. Sometimes you have to give to get, and i think the phillies bats are able to lose Rollins. But i think our rotation would be dynamite with the names ive heard being thrown around. Now C.C. Sabathia we have no chance. But A.J. Burnett, who is at the last year of his deal, or Aaron Cook who is being dangled, who is having a great season in Colorado, Zach Grienke in KC, or we could get back on of our old arms, theres 2 i heard is being used as trade bait there in Texas, Kevin Milwood, and Vincente Padilla. Could be a chance too Randy Wolf becomes available. I could see Pat Gillick making a move like this, hes retiring at the end of the year, and i think the way the team is going, he might just make that one big move to push the phils over that hump, and get to the world series.
