Now Without Galvis, Should the Phils Regret Demoting and Losing Frandsen?




Most of you have most likely heard by now, but Freddy Galvis has been diagnosed with MRSA which is a from of staph infection that is resistant to antibiotics. So yeah, he'll be gone for a while. So now that leaves Cesar Hernandez as the probable backup for Chase but Cesar will likely see more time in the outfield. We're looking at Asche, Utley, Rollins, and Howard as our infield for the time being. Kevin was optioned to Triple-AAA, making $900,000, or free agency and eventually ended up picking the latter. Not even a day later was he picked up by Washington. Frandsen is the definition of utility player, he's pretty much able to play any of the infield positions and maybe even some outfield. So know we've lost a guy who can play 3rd if Asche doesn't work out and if Rollins or Utley get hurt again. He may not have been a "good" player but he was about mediocre at the best but he's btter than the second stringers we've got now.

Good move or not? Let me know!
