PhuturePhillies Reader Top 30 Poll for #20
Victor Arano overcomes Andrew Knapp’s early lead and takes the 19th spot with 99 of the 348 (28%) votes cast. Knapp finished second with 74 votes.
Arano becomes the 7th Latin American player voted into our Top 19. The MLB Top 20 on the Phillies’ site includes 6 Latin players. Of course, there is some disparity. While both polls agree that Franco and Grullon are #3 and #11 respectively, we disagree on Carlos Tocci (PP #14, MLB #16) and Victor Arano (PP #19, MLB #15). MLB ranks Severino Gonzalez #10 and Jesmuel Valentin #20 and neither has cracked our poll, yet. And we have Yoel Mecias #10, Franklyn Kilome #18, and the shiny new toy that is Odubel Herrera #15.
The selections so far are listed below. Continue reading PhuturePhillies Reader Top 30 Poll for #20
Open Discussion: Week of January 19th
Here’s a recap of some of the recent Phillies news.
A few weeks ago, former Pirates’ left-handed pitcher Wandy Rodriguez (who turned 36 today) agreed to a minor league contract with the Phillies. Rodriguez (formerly Eny Cabreja), made the Pirates’ opening day roster in 2014 and started 6 games (0-2, 6.75) before being sent to their AA affiliate in Altoona for the rest of the season.

Thoughts on potential Cole Hamels trades
Disclaimer: I wrote about 3,000 words, hit the wrong key stroke, and apparently autosave didn’t work, so it was all erased. I am going to try and type it again, but I can promise you it won’t be as detailed as what I’d written before.
Okay, so Jim Salisbury identified 4 teams that were in the running for Cole Hamels: The Padres, Red Sox, Rangers and Cardinals. I wanted to take a look at each of the 4 to see what the Phillies could expect to receive in return. I also wanted to make a few comments on the actual concept of trading Cole Hamels. I’ll do all of that below the fold.
