Despite a hot start by the Phillies this season, all good things come with flaws.
After Philadelphia gave up their starting right fielder Jayson Werth, they have lost a solid, everyday outfielder.
Ben Francisco has stepped in and so has Dominic Brown. Francisco has done a good job and I really like him, but maybe he is just not the right guy to have be that everyday starter. Brown is also hurt and still very young.
Plus, Raul Ibanez’s time is starting to come to an end.
When trade talk starts to come around, the Phillies always seem to put their foot in the door for someone and we never know what Ruben Amaro has in store for this season.
So the following players on this list are possible targets that the Phillies may go after. Some are much more likely than others while some have extremely little chance.
