Phillies Acquire Ben Revere for Vance Worley and Trevor May

[koldjerky]

I like revere a lot but I'd have liked it better if it was just Worley. At least revere is young and controlled.

Wouldn't be surprised if another big bat is acquired/signed.

Id rather this than Bourne for 5/75

Really? Revere is 5 years younger than Bourn, 74 million dollars cheaper, and basically does everything that Bourn does. Worley is replaceable, and who knows if May will ever turn out to be anything good.

I think you misread my post.

Agreed... I think this let's them spend in RF

I did. I thought you said you would have rather had Bourn for 5/75. Sorry!

Dislike the Sandberg throw in, but I like the speed and hopefully solid DF of the new guy

I could see his slugging numbers go up a bit this year with the friendly corners in CBP. Might have given up too much, but we absolutely needed to improve our OF and that wasn't looking easy.

Our outfield now is what... Ruf/Revere/Brown?

Worley is coming off an injury. And this guy looks like Bourn 2.0. A fast leadoff type that costs nothing. This is certainly a cheap way of doing business.

Like this move a lot. Keep em' coming.

Hes actually closer to Pierre than Bourn. Low walk/k guy who survives on contact. Fast. Noodle arm.

Could this team get any more black ? Lmao

Does the race of the players really matter?

It doesnt matter even a little bit, but just to humor that comment: Frandsen, Ruf, Kratz, Utley, Halladay, Lee, Hamels, Cloyd, Papelbon, De Fratus, Diekman, Horst, Kendrick, Lindblom, Nix, Rosenberg, Schwimer, Stutes, Savory........

Yeah, its crazy black.

I'd much rather have given up less and got Span, but we will see how it plays out.
