Yes that moron really said it, and it is worse than Miller’s syllabic pronunciation of OPS because it would hurt the team and is a key example of why Steve Phillips is not a GM anymore.
Actually, it actually makes me happy to have Ned Colletti, which is shocking. At least McCheap wouldn’t let such a stupid thing happen (I hope).

4 – Did Phillips really say that? I must have missed that. Ugh, what a fool. That’s almost as bad as Miller saying “OPS”, but rhyming it with “cops” as opposed to “O-P-S”.

That idiot Steve Phillips actually suggested sitting Ethier and moving Kemp to RF. Forget the fact that Kemp is a superior defender in CF to Pierre. Forget that Manny spent the first half of his career playing RF (why do so many people forget that this guy was headed to the Hall long before Fenway) and still has a very good arm. Even Joe Morgan’s suggestion was to trade Pierre to get him time elsewhere.
I actually understand sitting Dre against very tough lefties in favor of Pierre, who is actually better against southpaws, and I would keep Kemp in CF and shift Manny in those games. Trading Etheir, however, is not close to an option. I would much rather have a superior offense with a rotation consisting of an ace, 3 number 3s and a 4/5 and to waste Ethier trying to pick up an Oswalt or someone else.

I think Kemp is destined for leadoff again. That bunt he laid down tonight was impressive. He’s the fastest guy on the team, he’s aggressive and most importantly, he gets on base. During the ESPN broadcast tonight — the trio of Joe Morgan, John Miller and Steve Phillips were trying to hypothesize what happens when Manny returns (“How can you take Pierre out of this lineup?” and “Furcal is not hitting good enough to bat leadoff”) all which leads me to believe Kemp goes to leadoff once Manny gets back. I think Torre will attempt to hit Raffy at the leadoff for about a week… and then we’ll see the change. Obviously, you would think Pierre has got to be trade bait at this point. But, I’m a little nervous that getting an ace this year to make the run might cost us Ethier — and that Ned might try to pull it off because Juan is playing like a man possessed.

Great job. Now it’s time to write an article about moving Kemp up in the order!
