    Agreed. Cutting Colon loose now could look like a mess; I'd rather try to hold off on the dump until the deadline.

    I'd like to see Ruiz stay up with the team, whatever happens with Garcia.

    Bowman said that Ruiz may remain the primary 3rd baseman when Garcia gets off the DL

    It shouldn't be a question at this point since Garica likely has a fake injury

    Yup. Ruiz has looked pretty capable out there - exceedingly capable when contrasted with Garcia.

    I see you again, Ruiz. It's early, but his average is up to .320.

    No question, Rio has to be the primary third baseman, even when Garcia returns.

    From Stark: Vince Velasquez exits. So for 45th straight game, no Phillies starter gets an out beyond the 7th. Their longest streak ever to start season

    This is how bad they are.

    I just wish I had reason(s) to believe him.

    He's earned over 114 million in his career. Maybe his pride will persuade him to throw us a bone and retire with some sort of bonus. No idea if this is even possible...
