I keep reading that the Phillies want him in a trade for Hamels. I really don't know the AL, and I certainly don't know Betts..... but I would think a #1 starter ( without a doubt.... and possible HOFer, that is locked up for 4 more years ) has to be worth any young player except maybe someone with a top 5 rookie ranking.
I gather Betts doesn't qualify as a rookie anymore, but he is still super young.
What player does he project to be similar to? And is he a better OF or 2B?
As I have a soft spot for catchers - I was one in college - I think I would rather have Swihart ( sp? )........ Ruiz is cooked, and the Phils don't have a great one in the pipeline.
