With Jim Thome being traded to the Orioles on Saturday, then Chad Qualls being traded to the Yankees, the Phillies are now engaging trading Cole Hamels. With the Marlins sweeping us three games recently it almost seems impossible to make playoffs now.
I think trading Hamels wouldn’t be such a bad idea because of who we might get in the trade for him, being that he is a premiere player. Then, if Phillies can’t re-sign Hamels in free agency to comeback, they would probably get two 1st round picks with the team that would sign Hamels because he will be a Type A Free Agent. Could Shane Victorino be next too? Yes, there is good chance Victorino could be traded because right now he’s not doing good, but whoever trades for him he may get better because it could be a good change of scenery for Victorino. There would be a bunch of teams lined up to call the Phillies about Victorino, because earlier this season the Blue Jays and a bunch of other teams called the Phillies about Victorino. In my opinion, if Victorino was traded then Juan Pierre would be our everyday center-fielder this year.
