Default Phillies trade Placido Polanco

goes to Detroit Tigers for RP Urgueth Urbina and Utility IF
everyone saw it coming, although id rather of trade David Bell but Manuel has too much dedication to Buddy Bell, David's dad

so bullpen help for the Phighten Phils. your thoughts?

I think they could have gotten more, but maybe I'm wrong.

What the hell do you think they'd get for Bell? He has no value.

I guess Polanco was tradeable with Utley doing the job that he has been? I like it for the Phillies. Urbina and Wagner pitching the 8th and 9th is pretty nasty.

OK, to elaborate on my initial thoughts, I'm surprised they couldn't find a deal with the Twins. He seems like he'd be a good fit there, and they have some power arms in the majors and the upper minors. I guess they wouldn't part with Crain.

honestly, i dont know the twins well enough to comment, other than santana obviously

this is a nasty 8th and 9th inning combo. as long as we get our starter through the 6th, we're golden. rheal cormier or ryan madson(whos in his 2nd year and is ridiculous-NASTY changeup, for those of u who dont know) in the 7th and urbina in the 8th and wags to blow everyone away in the 9th

with the way we've been hitting and the starting pitching we've been gettin-with the possible exception of lidle-we're in good shape.

we needed this trade because the NL East is TOUGH AS HELL this year

Nikcy Punto has a .351 OBP. They don't really need a second baseman....

The Twins would have to be nuts (which they aren't) to trade Crain for Polanco. Polanco is a decent player, but c'mon. They should be happy to have gotten Urbina for him.
