Given his contract and the fact that he is already declining, sure, I wouldn't be that upset if they made a move there.

No and no.

Like I always say: depends on the return.
I'd trade my mom in the right deal
I would not trade my mum but raisor (like always ) is right...
if the return is good => of course I would
I get more and more annoyed of his personality (I never talked to him so it is basically the way he is in public) and more important his on field performance is declining
perhaps it´s only a down year, but I doubt it and with his contract a trade would be smart.
but I doubt that you´ll get a good enough return to help this club immediatly and is an upgrade over bp...

His contract make him almost untradeable. I wouldn't trade him anyway.

I'd be up for it, but I don't think it's realistic.
Over reaction......

No and probably not.
With fewer PEDs (apparently) in baseball these days, a return to teams needing strong up-the-middle guys is probably (pardon the pun) on deck. A player like Phillips is one you keep around at least through the end of his contract.

Keep Phillips to the end of his contract. Then I think you'll see a fella named Avain Rachal all primed and ready to take over. Perfect timing, perfect fit. If you read his twitter account he's a young kid (19 now) with a cocky, swaggerish, somewhat immature yet, personality that reminds me of BP somewhat.
