Well I didn’t mean to make an exhaustive list but yes include that bunch as well. In any case, I also don’t expect a Ryne Sandberg or Julio Franco to emerge from that entire bunch. Maybe four or five will pan out and turn out to be good MLB players, but that’s the cost of doing business.

Yea – you left off Drabek. And Lou Marson, Jason Donald, and J.A. Happ too.

And sure, someone he traded will be a star (of course, someone he traded for already has a Phillies red Cy Young under his belt) – but all these Phille’s trolls blindly parrot “RAJ traded prospects” – as if it is the 80′s again and we are talking about Ryne Sandberg and Julio Franco

he is diabetic. so I’m guessing that’s why the injury is taking longer to heal

Another example that all prospects are suspects until proven otherwise.

saw this kid hit for the cycle in Allentown, thought he’d end up being a really good major league player but it doesn’t look like that will ever happen. he had a lot of talent at one point..

Better than a chewing tobacco cancer injury.

To be fair, probably at least ONE of those many guys traded away will pan out. What are the odds that all of Carrasco/D’Arnaud/Santana/Singleton/Taylor/Biddle/May/Gose/Villar will ALL fail at the MLB level? That would make RAJ Xanatos the supreme Con-Artist.

I just think it is terrible the way RAJ has depeleted the Phillies farm system of talent.

Oh wait.

Same kid that bill Conlin said would set the phillies back if we traded him, right ?
