Yeah, what they're doing to Bernie blows. No doubt. They've gotta get a handle on this before it fucks the team chemistry. They got rid of Sheffield and Johnson because they were cancers in the locker room. This could be worse.

Can't they just admit that Phillips and Phelps both suck, and Bernie should at least get a full shot at playing 1B? I mean, c'mon, his bat is still better than either of those two, and you've got Gold Glove Mientkeiwicz. I can't see what they hope to gain with a 30-year-old permanent prospect (even though I love A-Phil's defense) and a failed project in Phelps?

Although I may consider keeping Phelps since he can play catcher...who is going to be the backup, Todd Pratt?
