Liberty Ball

The Phillies traded Jeff Conine to the Reds for two minor leaguers.  Conine had a solid but unspectacular year playing for the both Philly and the Orioles.  He hit ten homeruns and he hit .268. 

In exchange, the Phillies got Brad Key and Javon Moran, two minor leaguers who played in Low A ball last year.  Key plays third and he really struggled last year (at the age of 23).  He hit a single homerun and he had an OPS of .620.  Moran had a solid season and hit .320, but he’s already 24.  So there’s not a lot to work with here.
