Quite Frankly, I Agree With Stephen A.

Truer words have never been spoken by my favorite media whore Stephen A. Smith:

Howard's a stud, not a one-year wonder. Rollins is playing some exceptional baseball. And Utley is fully worthy of his $85 million deal and fully capable of feeding a city's baseball aspirations (with Howard and Rollins) for years to come.

Any team would want these players. Any team would be respectable with these players. Any team would put quality players around these players and, dare we say, win with these players - even if it meant having to pull off a deal for some quality pitching before the July 31 non-waiver trading deadline expires.

Any team but the Phillies, it seems.

As I'm sure you have guessed, anyone who rips the Phils and their front office is a friend of mine these days...even it means sharing a bed with the likes of Stephen A.
