May 17, 200520 yr Really guys he cant do worse than dye or Timo why dont we call him up,and i said this before if we dont get a big bat in here SOON we are f***ED,so if were not going to call Anderson up then trade him for a Big bat like Abreu and move rowand to right,cause to be honest carl is a waste too!!!!

May 17, 200520 yr NO,iam tired of failing at the end!!!!!!!!!!! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Tired of arguing about this, there are legit reasons why this guy is not up in the bigs yet, it's been posted 100 times and yet these threads come up every other day. Oh well.
May 17, 200520 yr What's everyones obsession with trading our young minor leaguers for 5-tool major league All-Stars. Has anyone heard anything at all from any credible source that would leave you to believe that the Phillies are willing to trade Bobby Abreu, no, I didn't think so. And you're saying that if we're not going to bring up the 23 year old outfielder who now has a total of 137 career AAA atbats and 39 strikeouts right now we should trade him. Let him get some atbats at AAA and cutdown on the strikeouts, and yes he could be worse than Dye and Timo. Oh ya, do you even know who Bobby Abreu is cause he plays right field so why would you move Rowand to right if you got him. You obviously have no ideo who he is.

CAUSE rowand would be better ,just like Abreu would be better than rowand,AND yes Abreu WILL be traded this year you watch,and ill see you posting the samething after this weekend when we dont score no runs and lose to the sorry f***ing cubs,just because people dont post 1000 times they dont know s*** well maybe GET A LIFE ,and big deal leave Abreu in right but what iam saying this teams need an impact player like him,so when the GREAT DYE AND TIMO go 1-12 this weekend dont cry!!!!!!! :finger

Sometimes I think you are obsessed with strikeouts and not concerned enough with other aspects of hitting. If we brought Anderson up and he continued to hit over 300, with the same type of power numbers that he is showing at AAA, and kept the same strikeout ratio, would that be an improvement over our current center fielder? I say yes.

Ok, so would you say Brian Anderson is potentially a better player than Ross Gload. Also if we could agree that Anderson is a better player than our current RF'er, wouldnt it be beneficial to not only see what he can do, but also raise his trade value if thats what we need to do.

Please dont agree with my posts or quote me, you are hurting my credibility, thanks
May 17, 200520 yr I think we should keep the team how it is, and the re-evaluate it come the all star break... If Dye and Carl are still hitting like they are now... and Anderson still hitting at a good clip... than consider it a possibility. Also if I had to choose I much rather call Anderson up than call B-Mac up like some people want too.
May 17, 200520 yr I have heard the Phillies MIGHT be interseted in trading Abreu but the Conversation would start with BMAC and Anderson in my mind no way is this worth it

I say yes. Chances are great that Anderson would not continue to hit over .300 on the Major league level. Just look at that outfield prospect we had in our system last year Jeremy reed who had a .327 career minor league avg. and is now hitting .252 for the Mariners. Strikeouts show that he is still adjusting to the improved pitching that he is now facing in AAA compared to what he faced in AA.
May 17, 200520 yr They aren't bringing Anderson up unless there's a significant injury. You guys can beat that drum all you want and wish and want and hope, but it won't happen. Williams and Wilder want him in AAA to get experience, he is there and not here for a reason.
