Strong Trade- more HR's and SB's

So with the signing of Aaron Rowand this gives us a surplus in outfielders, so I see adding speed, power and an infielder.

BRANDON PHILLIPS
-Age 26, let me repeat, AGE 26
-Arbitration through 2010 season
-last season hit through 158 games:
.288 AVG/.331 OBP/.485 SLG/.816 OPS
30 Home Run
94 RBI's
32 Stolen Bases
.982 Fielding % at 2B

The Home Runs and Stolen Bases jump off the page to me. The Red's are looking for pitching we have it plus outfield prospects to spare

SP Noah Lowry OR SP Jonathan Sanchez & OF Fred Lewis (and Durham if they want) for 2B Brandon Phillips

more power, speed and a solid infielder

Hey Chulk are you going to be signed or non-tendered? While I would not be surprised to see SF/Cincy talk turkey doubtful it would be a deal for Phillips.

Are the Reds high on goofballs or something? What makes you think that they'd entertain this?

Mets are looking for pitching, too.

How about Noah and Sanchez for Reyes & Wright? That could seriously take care of our problems on the left side of the infield.

Re: Mets are looking for pitching, too.

The Cards might insist on Fred Lewis, too. I guess it would still be worth it for us.

The Reds would never give up Phillips for just Lowry or Sanchez or whoever

Nope, do not want.
Batting avg. is OK, but he never had a season above .290. But really - he's only been in the bigs for 2 seasons.

No Thanks.

The funny part is the Reds got Phillips from Cleveland for nothing because the Tribe gave up on the once "hot prospect". What the Giants need to do is find Phillips of 2 years ago in the current wash of disappointing players.
