Vince Young has been confirmed today to move to the Eagles to back up Michael Vick.
In baseball news, the Phillies and Astros are working out a deal that includes two Phillies prospects and possibly Dominic Brown in exchange for Hunter Pence. Right now Houston is looking for a third team to get involved to give Brown to for more prospects, from what I've heard.
I'd be fine with that. I think Dominic Brown could be a great player, but if the Phillies are going all in and trying to win a World Series, then Pence absolutely makes the lineup better. Will it be THAT much of an upgrade? Time will tell. I mean, the Phillies did get shut down by the Giants last year, and that was with Jayson Werth still on the team (though in retrospect he was kind of on a downward trend).
I think I'd rather see the Phillies get Vance Worley to get involved in this trade, but apparently the Astros don't have any need for him. With our starting pitching, I think Worley is a bit more expendable than a future starting right fielder. Still, it'll be nice to keep Worley around, even if he's basically a number 5 starter by the end of the year. |

@PogueSquadronYeah, but as a #5 starter, he still has some pretty good numbers, doesn't he? He could be a solid #2 (or 1!) on the O's, haha. What in the planet. You know a whole bunch more about baseball than I do with this stuff. I mean, I've heard of guys, but I don't really know them all too well. Football on the other hand, I know like the back of my hand. And I constantly see those while typing. Vince Young to the Eagles. Man, they must LOVE drama. First Vick, and now this guy? I guess maybe Philadelphia is more open to troubled folk there? I'm not sure. Man, craziness is afoot. I don't know what the Dolphins are looking for at QB, but they've apparently got Matt Moore now, recently on Carolina in their garbage pile. They're STILL looking at Kyle Orton though. WR Roy Williams to the Bears from the Cowboys after trading TE Greg Olsen to Carolina. The Broncos are looking at the recently cut Willis McGahee (wow!), and that Nnamdi Asomugha fellow is now between the Jets and Cowboys..but the Cowboys would have to cut Terrance Newman (apparently) to make him fit. And Darren Sproles (SD) replaces Reggie Bush instantly in New Orleans. Wild and wooly! And its Friday! They can officially sign peopllllle! |

Oh, Worley's got good stuff, but you also have to take into account that it's his first year in the big leagues. A lot of rookie pitchers have great first years, but once there's a more substantial book on them, then they kind of have to dig themselves out of a hole (for example, J.A. Haap isn't having a great year, despite a stellar rookie year). He definitely has potential.
I guess what I mean to say is, even if he's a really good pitcher, if your first three pitchers are Roy Halladay, Cole Hamels, and Cliff Lee...the fourth and fifth starters just aren't as important. On the other hand, you have Dominic Brown. I think the kid was brought up WAY too early, and now he's basically getting a lot of on the job training in the majors. It'll take a few years, but he has the potential to be a great player. WIth the way he's played up until now, he could be a great 5 tool outfielder, and those are hard to come by. That's the only reason I said that I think Brown is the less expendable between him and Worley (that is, if Brown does blossom...he IS playing okay despite his flaws in his rookie year, and I think I read he's actually producing more than Chase Utley in his rookie year)
Fortunately for the Phils, it looks like they've officially landed a deal to bring Hunter Pence to the team, by trading some prospects and a player to be named later (NOT Vance Worley or Dominic Brown). Not too shabby. Is Hunter Pence the greatest player ever? No, but he's a .300 hitter, and should help in the Phillies lineup in the 5 hole. In the past few years, the Phillies have acquired Brad Lidge, Roy Oswalt, and now Pence from Houston.
On the football side, the Eagles have acquired cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha. It's a pretty exciting day around here, regardless of what comes of all of this.
Edit: I should also clarify, if it took trading Dominic Brown to get Hunter Pence, I probably would've done it in a heartbeat. Pence is what, 28? So he'll still be good for like, the next 5 years. As it turns out, looks like we'll be getting both of them. |
