Baseball Dad Trade Post #1

Here's post #1 highlighting my recent trade with Baseball Dad.  I sent him lots of Indians (who knew they'd be so good this year?) and he sent me  lots of cool Phillies, including the green Supreme Roy that I did not have.

Jim Thome. What a player.  He is well on his way to 600 homers and he is a for sure hall of famer.  Now I have a two color jersey card of him when he was a Phillie.  Sweet!

Ryan Madson is back from his stint on the 15 day DL, and he is pitching well again.  Chase Utley has quietly been racking up the RBIs and hits.  He isn't hitting for power as much this season, but he has been hitting some solid singles and doubles, which sometimes is just as good.

Cole Hamels.  What can one say about Cole?  He is having a stellar season, maybe his best ever.  And to think this guy is a #4 starter!  He is a candidate for the Cy Young award for sure and will likely be competing for it with Roy Halladay.  People sometimes forget that Cole was the MVP of the 2008 World Series.  He just keeps getting better and better.

I decided to take off tomorrow, so I hope to spend a good chunk of the day going through cards and getting trade packages together and mailed out.  Seeing as it is going to be a high of 103, being inside is probably the best place to be anyway.  I'll be on the softball field all weekend so I better enjoy the air conditioning while I can!

Have a great day, everyone.
