He looked like he couldn't get that guy out of the game fast enough. FWIW, Charlie Manuel’s expression when he came to the mound to remove Blanton from last night’s game was priceless.

But the Phils could always move Park or Blanton to the bullpen. Reports are that Carlos Carrasco and Kyle Kendrick have been impressive in Triple-A. Obviously, Park's spot in the rotation is the least secure. Robert, when you say immovable I assume you mean untradable. But the Phils could always move Park or Blanton to the bullpen.

The problem here is that if they continue to be this bad, they become immovable as well. You can't bring in young guys if there are no spots open (not that I'm suggesting that they should... yet).
