    Phillips for Hamels?

    Mentions of a POTENTIAL trade in the discussion phase getting around Twitter.

    I love BP, but I take that deal all day every day.

    In a Philadelphia minute.

    The nuts and bolts of that deal would be tough. A trade would have to send something back to the Reds to play 2B and the Phillies would still need a pitcher.

    Bailey and Phillips for Hamels and ???

    I see a straight up deal, Phillips for Hamels.

    Then the Reds trade a pitcher, probably Homer or Chapman, for a second baseman from somebody.

    Another option. Trade off the "excess" pitching (Homer, Chapman) along with Heisey or Ludwick for a better LF. Then gamble that H Rodriguez is ready to be the primary second baseman.

    One issue: The Phils have an expensive guy named Utley who plays 2B.

    Heavens to Betsy, yes. I'd think about that for about a nanosecond and hit the "go" button.

    Nah. Homer can't pitch in Philly. They need a veteran with playoff experience for their rotation:

    Phillips and Arroyo for Hamels

    Utley is hurt. Which is why I imagine this is being "discussed".

    I'd do either of these in a second. Although it would be a hell of a gamble to go into a season expecting to contend with a rookie catcher, 2B and SS. I guess having a rotation headed by Hamels, Latos, and Cueto would be one mitigating factor.

    In the second scenario, I'd imagine Andre Ethier could be an interesting target.

    From what I've heard about his condition, Utley may be lucky to play 50 games this year. At this point, he may never play 100 games in a season again.

    Reds could go for Orlando Hudson as a stop gap at second. He would provide the defense. You'd think the Reds have the talent to acquire him.
