Phillies Scouting Burnett?
Let's check in with the Phillies.
- Robert MacLeod notes the presence of the Phillies' director of Major League scouting at A.J. Burnett's start tonight in Baltimore. Would the Phillies add another starter?
- Jim Salisbury talked to Phils GM Pat Gillick about the rumored Matt Holliday blockbuster. Gillick rolled his eyes at the rumor.
- In general, Gillick seems higher on catching prospect Lou Marson than pitching prospect Carlos Carrasco.
- Gillick's top target is a left-handed reliever, with a bat on the radar as well. Some kind of acquisition is a "good possibility."

You've got to love when your general manager refers to your team's best prospect as a future number 3.

The Blanton trade should be the end for pitching trades for the Phillies before this deadline IMO. Burnett isn't putting up significantly better numbers this year than Blanton. He's overall a better pitcher, but not by much...Seriously, stop trading young players for marginal improvements.

Interesting that he's looking for a lefty reliever and didn't get Embree thrown into the Blanton deal.

as a met fan, i hope the phillies do get burnett. if not for the bullpen meltdown, all talk would have been on blanton looked every bit of his 5-12 record on the mound.

As a Braves fan, I have no problem with the Phils blowing their farm system on mediocre pitching. Keep it up!
