Thread: Article: Ben Revere Traded to Philly for RHP Vance Worley & Top Pitching Prospect

http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2012/1...en-revere.html

My excitement is palpable.

Literally. I think I just crapped myself.

I really did not see that coming but depending on the return I don't really disagree.

Who did we get in return??? That's when I'll find out if I crapped myself.

Amazing to think about
1) what did they get for him?
2) who will roam our OF come opening day? Arcia? Roberts? Hicks? or do they go Mastro and make us wait longer on the kids?

Knobler says Worley is part of the deal.

I have the feeling Ryan wouldn't give away a cost-controlled player without a significant return.

Twins acquire RHP Vance Worley.

Tell me about this Worley guy

Isn't he injured? Or did I read that wrong?

Worley and a 'good pitching prospect'

I'm not sure Worley should be considered a significant return but he should be a solid #3/4 to stop the bleeding. Interesting stat that troubles me is that while he has a decent K rate he has an awful swinging strike rate.

Worley and a "good prospect." Damn. I'm really going to miss Revere.

From MLBTR:

A good minor league pitching prospect is also headed to Minnesota in the trade, tweetsScott Miller of CBS Sports

Mid-high level crapping has commenced! Not that excited about Worley in particular, but incredibly excited that we were able to get that kind of value in exchange for Revere. Well played, TR. Well played.

AND RHP Trevor May. TR got this one right.

Anything else coming back? A couple of "C" prospects perhaps

MLBTR is reporting that a "good" prospect was also included.

If true, that is ONE HELL of a haul for Revere.

Can't wait to hear John call these guys "C" prospects

Holy crap. TR just ****ed the Phillies so hard.

Pardon my French. There's no better way to put it.
