There has been a rumor buzzing this morning that the Phils are gonna trade Bobby Abreu to the Red Sox for Manny Ramirez. Yeah, I’m sure Philly’s gonna love a guy who thinks that defense is something that goes around deyard. He’ll hit a lot of homers and drive in a lot of runs, but Bobby was a great offensive player, too, and he provided speed on the basepaths. Not to mention that he seemed to be a good clubhouse guy. And plenty of people in Philly hate him because he was a little slack on defense. So what is Philly gonna do with a guy that can only hit, can’t run, who is constantly whining about wanting to be traded, and who doesn’t play defense at all? Manny better hope he isn’t traded here, because this town will eat him alive.
