I think the problem with his time in Philly was he Thome and Burrell were supposed to be "the man". If he was batting 6th or maybe 7th for us now his 20 hrs and good OBP would be a bonus.  But I'll give Amaro the benefit of the doubt...especially considering all the intangeables with Abreu. (and the fact he would never come back here)  I can't criticize the guy with all the signings he got done... although if he did one  thing wrong, I think it's that he misjudged free agent values. He sign all of our free agents early in the off-season and since their value has plummetted. Guys are signing for chump change now that spring training is around the corner.

Richie (Philly): Better chance of being in the top of the rotation for the Phillies in years to come…Carrasco or Drabek? 

SportsNation John Manuel: (2:54 PM ET ) Carrasco, if only because Drabek might be Lidge’s successor as Philly’s closer.
