If he's going to LA, then it might make sense to expand that trade to include Ruiz and/or Hamels.

I would guess an older upper minors hitter with production but missing certain tools and/or a lower minors pitcher with a raw arm and terrible numbers. From the Dodgers system I would suggest Scott Schebler and Zachary Bird.


Cool. Those names jumped out at me too. Also Scott Barlow and Cody Bellinger.

This isn't real. This feels not-real.

He was worth 1.9 WAR over 52 games last year, with only a .327 BABIP. He's a fast guy with positive value on the bases, in the field, who gets on base. He's valuable.

He also hit 16 HRs last year, from AA up through the majors, so he's not Ben Revere.

It's kind of like the Cliff Lee night, but with the opposite end of the spectrum in emotions.

In course of Rollins conversations, Dodgers and Phillies also discussed Chase Utley, according to source. Now Dodgers have traded their 2B.

Oh man, reunited in LA. That would be crazy.

I guess I saw at least one of them being packaged in the Hamels deal. It would bum me out if we lost the two most iconic players of this great era for a couple of middling prospects.

All I know is if Ruben trades Hamels, Rollins and Utley, fucking Howard better not be playing first base on Opening Day. That will really piss me off.

i'm a little sad that rollins is gone, but i won't fully get in touch with my feelings just yet. maybe a little ways down the line, it just feels too fresh now.

but it would be a complete shock to my system once the dominoes continue falling and utley/hamels get moved. don't know if i'll be able to compose myself as well

I won't be able to at all. Howard, I'm resigned to the fact that he's gone and we will be better for it. But Utley and Hammers. Dunno man. Feel like I will be inconsolable
