They chose not to promote him yet again when they put Gallo on the DL (although I'm sure playing him at 1B is a bit of a waste - would make more sense to promote Ronald Guzman), and he's out of options following this season so they're going to have to do something. The Willie Calhoun acquisition likely means they aren't moving him to the OF, so they're pretty much going to have to deal him at this point IMO. He'd likely put up comparable numbers to Phillips at 3B for even less money, and with 3.124 years of service-time he could conceivably be that bridge to Riley or even Maitan.
Back a Sims/Profar deal up with a Lynn signing this winter, and maybe you still take a little step forward with a bit of a bounce back from Julio and Folty without having to ask for too much too soon from Newcomb/Fried/Gohara.
