yankees got money to burn....

Qualls is not worth the plane ticket it will cost to get from Philly to NY.

Phillies are garbage lookin like sellers come trade deadline. I see Victorino and Hamels on the trading block now. Dlunc should be in here saying they are still the team to beat in the NL in 3.2.1

they'll stick him in the minor leagues, maybe give him a september call up. definitely wont see him on the playoff roster

yea, we should expect more from a team without their 3 and 4 hitters, without their entire pen, and without arguably the best pitcher in baseball

idk what the yanks are thinking... this guy is the worst reliever in baseball

the window is starting to close for the phils, i think they've just got to accept they had bad luck this year and start the rebuild.

utley will never be as productive as he was in 2008/09 when he was undoubtedly the best second basemen in the game
halladay is no longer the best pitcher in the game and most probably never will be again with all the young guys coming up (strasburg/kershaw)

phils have a shockingly poor farm and far too many bloated contracts (papelbon for $50 million is ridiculous), it wouldnt be a bad decision to move hamels and get a boatload of prospects in return

no your are absolutely right.. sucks that injuries had to plague this season (as you said, window is almost closed)...

rollins
peirre
utley
howard
pence
victorino
ruiz
polanco

to go along with doc, cole and lee...

that is still a pretty nasty lineup with three nasty pitchers (not to mention a solid bench and solid 4 starter in worley)..

gotta hope as a fan that these guys still have another run left in em, even if it is next yr... seems more and more that cole won't be part of it though and you might be right.. that could be the best thing as this farm is empty

oh well.. go eagles haha

Qualls is so damn bad, why the hell would a major league team, especially the yankees want him. He can't handle any pressure, just letting the rays pile it on... He should only be used when a team is up by tons of runs, or down by so many they cant even win. Just give him meaningless innings.

One of the worst in baseball. Period.

This is like aquiring Brandon Lyon.

Some things never change.

How this guy is still in the league, I have no idea.

Phillies? Is he not pitching for the Marlins as we speak?

At the moment, yes.

Tomorrow it'll probably be someone else. He's pitched for like 22 teams.

Qualls is much smarter than your average reliever

will be pitching again in october
