My favorite part of the deadline passing will be not hearing any more about Hunter Fucking Pence.

So, if the Phillies still want Pence, Wade's cell phone is still turned on and he's still tuned in. The price for Pence is high, as it should be for a guy who entered Monday hitting .308 with 62 RBIs, with a rifle right-field arm that led the National League with nine outfield assists.

The key question for the Phillies is probably whether they're willing to part with their own rightfielder, 23-year-old Domonic Brown. If that is the question, the answer has to be yes.

"That's a good trade for both clubs, but the Astros would need more to make it happen," a National League scout said.

If that's the case, then the Phillies should offer Brown and more.

A year ago, it took three players - major-league ready J.A. Happ and minor-league prospects Jonathan Villar and Anthony Gose - to pry Roy Oswalt away from the Astros. Pence, 28, is younger, cheaper and an everyday player who will not be a free agent until after the 2013 season.

If it takes Brown, single-A Clearwater first baseman Jonathan Singleton, and even Clearwater pitcher Jared Cosart, then the Phillies need to get the deal done because Pence is the guy who gives them the best chance of winning the 2011 World Series.

How many hits does he have? Cause, you know, the writers are stupid

1)my ability to misspell names amazes me

2) He's got a shot at 200 HR, 450 SB and 2500 hits. Wanted to see how that compares in this era, along with his MVP,#aura 2007/GG seasons/WFC

Needs 35 more HRs, 86 SB, 679 more hits.
