Rosenthal tweets the Phils are trying to move Polanco before going after A-Ram. Smokescreen me thinks.

A guy named R J Anderson at BP has this view of the Nix signing regarding what it means for Brown:

Conversely, this could positively affect Brown’s development. The Phillies are running the risk that Brown appears bored in Triple-A—like Desmond Jennings and Jesus Montero before him— but additional exposure to left-handed pitching is something the Phillies cannot afford Brown that the minors can. If Brown progresses as a player, then the Phillies could get the best of both worlds. If worse comes to worst, they have a more than adequate fallback plan should Nix crater.


In an unrelated note, I wonder if the Utley's know a Cooper is a guy who makes Barrels?

He certainly didn't appear bored at AAA last year. I mean, really, I love Dom as much as the next guy, but Sandberg didn't even want to put him in the playoff lineup since he was so bad at the end of last year. I think him spending an entire year in AAA is unnecessary, but hey, maybe he'll learn how to catch a fly ball while he's there, which would be nice.

I think more than anything Brown needs a year of stability. If he goes apeshit in Clearwater I'd consider him, but Lehigh is probably the best play

Good point and I agree. I think some of the stuff he says makes sense though as Brown may need a full year at AAA and adding Nix gives the Phils some more flexibility to do this.

It's not that Nix will block him either if Brown makes good progress.

Negative. I have come to the conclusion that Larry Andersen getting blackout drunk is contrary to a law of physics.

Anyone else remember the Phillies version of "Ain't No Stopping Us Now" that was played during the 1980 World Series?

I admit I got this idea from ESPN insider but I wonder if Williams would think about moving Gordon Beckham. He looked pretty awesome a few years ago and can play 3B now and maybe eventually take over for Utley at 2B if he gets his career back on tract
