With the Phillies latest acquisitions, you can see what they are building. The future is bright. Maybe 60 wins isn’t so unrealistic.
Or maybe hes building depth for the possible Chase Utley, Jon Papelbon and Ryan Howard trades?
I’m a Phillies fan, but some of us just love to look for a reason to trash on the Phillies. Amaro hasn’t had 1 bad move in almost 3 seasons.
