Kenny Williams must've felt bad about the whole Garcia thing.

Jeezus. Feck.

I'm sorry, I'm waiting for the other foot to fall on this. something bad is going to happen. really, really, bad. this stinks of some kind of good luck following bad, as apart from a real steal.

Sorry, I'm not usually so cynical, but I'm waiting for this to go horribly wrong.

Trust me, I'ma off to bed. I refuse to exacerbate the situation.

That is ridiculous. Southwest doesn't fly directly from Chicago to Philly. He'd have a stopover in Cincinatti or have to go through Atlanta.

In all seriousness, it does. However, the fake press release needs to read "Midway" as Southwest doesn't fly out of O'Hare

I think Iguchi is an upgrade, assuming Dobbs doesn't play second. I applaud Gillick for acting quickly.

But Dubee may have more potential than he's getting credit for. He's a young 21 at Lakewood, so he's about where he should be. He's striking out 8.73 batters per 9 innings and has only allowed 2 homers in 55.2 innings. He isn't one of the Phillies top prospects, but I think he's a better prospect than Andrew Baldwin was a year ago.

Well, it wasn't my choice per se, just my thoughts on what THEY'D do.

i've read a fan's comments that said williams initiated the deal after seeing utley's injury yesterday. they liked dubee (drafted him in 04) and wanted to see what richar could do at second for them for the rest of the year.

by **usctrojans31** » Fri Jul 27, 2007 19:40:19

I'd reading that there is a clause in Iguchi's contract that requires him to be released thus arbitration can not be offered so we'll get no draft picks.

Anyone else know this?

So, I guess that means you can't get draft picks if he walks because you "released" him?

A simple yes would have sufficed. Can you two bond in your anti-davidbelliness?
