February 15, 200818 yr The one thing we can all agree on. When will BP start (or is he) being named among the elite 2B in the majors?If BP has a good start and is consistent in '08, the recognition will be forthcoming this year. Possible run at the All-Star team, is not out of the question.
February 15, 200818 yr Hard to compete with Utley's numbers for BP. However, I'd take BP defensively.
February 15, 200818 yr Has anyone heard any numbers?Here is link, regarding Hal's story and says no numbers available.... Phillips Story
February 15, 200818 yr Hard to compete with Utley's numbers for BP. However, I'd take BP defensively. I'm not sure I understand? Are you saying Utley's numbers are superior to BP's?
February 15, 200818 yr Has anyone heard any numbers? I just heard 4 year extension, but no dollar amount.
February 15, 200818 yr I'm not sure I understand? Are you saying Utley's numbers are superior to BP's? They are, sadly. Utley had as basically as many runs, and hits, more RBIs, doubles, and walks, and less strikeouts, in 26 less game and 80 less at bats. Utley also posted a .322 batting average.
February 15, 200818 yr Second baseman Brandon Phillips has agreed to a four-year, $27 million deal, settling the Cincinnati Reds' final arbitration case. The 26-year-old infielder had a breakout season last year, when he joined Alfonso Soriano as the only second basemen in major league history to hit 30 homers and steal 30 bases. Phillips had asked for $4.2 million in arbitration, and the Reds had offered $2.7 million. The new contract includes a club option for a fifth season. If Phillips is traded, it becomes a mutual option that would bring the total value of the contract to $43.25 million.

Utley also posted a .322 batting average. I don't think these are stats looked at when awarding a Gold Glove, which I believe is a defensive award. FPCT: BP-.990 Utley-.985 Chances BP- 782 Utley-671 Errors BP- 8 Utley-10 POs BP- 341 Utley- 289 Assists BP- 433 Utley- 372 DPs BP- 113 Utley- 85 You tell me who has the better Gold Glove Stats

I thought that spindoc was saying it is "hard to compete with Utley's numbers to be the best 2B in the league, but I'd take BP defensively"
