Sign Hamels to extension.
Can he actually play SS full time? Not a lot of experience there, even in the minors.

Howard's rehab. Amaro said Ryan Howard is scheduled to begin some weight-bearing activities in the middle of the month on his surgically repaired left Achilles tendon.
Howard suffered that injury in his season-ending at-bat during the Phillies' Game 5 loss to St. Louis in the division series. He is currently wearing a protective boot.
"He seems to be progressing OK," Amaro said. "When he starts doing more weight-bearing stuff, we should get a better indication of what the time frame will be [for his return]. Hopefully by the middle of this month, he'll start doing those weight-bearing things."
It has been estimated that Howard will be sidelined until at least May.
It's unclear how the Phillies plan to replace Howard if he is not ready to begin the season, but recently acquired Ty Wigginton is probably the primary option right now. Wigginton has started 114 games at first base over the last two seasons with Baltimore and Colorado.

Chris Wheeler, who has worked for 35 years as a Phillies broadcaster, says you can't fake the odd-couple friendship of Franzke and Andersen.
"There are people in this business who have insufferable egos and hog everything."

He would get blackout drunk by the end of the first quarter.

But when we asked the folks in our poll to name the player they thought was most likely to get traded at these winter meetings, we got 10 different names, from Martin Prado and Carlos Quentin to Maicer Izturis and Ben Francisco.
