It looks like the Phillies might be looking to deal Pat Burrell.  I’ve always been a fan of Burrell’s but this Jeckyl and Hyde, one season he’s good, one season not too good, is making it tough on the team.  The primary concern was protecting Ryan Howard, and Burrell didn’t do a very good job of that in 2006.  Jeff Conine would be the logical choice to fill in at left field unless the Phillies picked someone up on the free agent market to fill that spot.

Here’s an update on how the Phillies are doing in the Arizona Fall League.  Gavin Floyd had a rough start and Gio Gonzalez was roughed up as well.
