    I think that the fact that Wallace has been traded 3 times in about a year reflects very poorly on him. He was the key piece in the Holliday deal, but has been traded twice for players that most places rank lower than him--that suggests that Oakland and Toronto both saw something that they didn't like about him.

    You'd have to figure he can't field or is a head case or something, because judging by his numbers at the plate he seem to be major-league ready.

    In 714 AAA At-bats:
    299 Avg 357 OBA 33 HR 45 2B 484 SLG
    165/56 K/BB is not so hot, but ...three times in a year? Even if Berkman isn't traded, this kid will probably be hitting in Houston soon.

    Please have the Phillies miss the playoffs and have them lose him to FA after this year.

    He's signed thru till after 2011, and there's a strong chance he could accept an extension if the Phils perform well, which they will.
