No.. <url><url>

Big no.

Brown may have some growing pains in the OF, but that can be overcome quickly given his athletic ability.

Don't know where to post this, but I like how it seems the Eagles and Phillies are in competition with each other.

Oh...Eagles sign Asomugha and VY, countered through the trade of Hunter Pence.

The Eagles snatch the headlines for a day, and the Phillies put their team/sport right back into the public's consciousness

Wait, what? (apologies to Norm MacDonald). No to his no or supporting his no, cuz you gave me a "likes this" in my earlier post.

You're probably right, but I don't want to go through growing pains right now during a pennant run.

According to Ken Rosenthal:

#Yankees hearing #Rockies may lower price on Jimenez today, but still not to point where NY considers deal realistic. #tradedeadline #MLB

My fault. My statement still stands, though.

Re: 2011 MLB Trade Deadline Thread

Brewers acquire IF/OF Jerry Hairston Jr. from Nationals for AA OF Erik Komatsu.

"Komatsu, 23, is hitting .294/.393/.416 at Double-A and can play all three outfield positions. Baseball America ranked him 14th among Brewers prospects prior to the season, writing that he 'profiles best as a fourth outfielder at the big league level.'"

Looks like the Phils found their replacement for Jayson Werth. Think Pence is gonna be a hit in Philly.
