The manager isn't all to blame but if there is guy who is doing a worse job in MLB I would like know who it is. 38-47, find a team with as many talented players as the Phillies with that record. The pitching isn't bad and Tom Gordon is one of the best closers in baseball. The problem with the Phillies is the parts are greater than the whole. It's like Bluestar Airlines in the movie Wall Street. The airline was worth far more if it went out business. That's the Phillies. If they had a fire sale there are about 25 teams who would love to get their hands on several of the players. What's Tom Gordon worth to the Dodgers who lost Gagne. The Yankees would love to land any of the oufielders, Abreu, Burrell, Delluci. The Phillies need pitching prospects and a quality catcher. They are going to be a seller very soon. Steinbrenner, whats in your wallet???
