Red Stripe. Are you sure we're talking about the same Pat Burell here? He was absolutely LOATHED by this town this year. Boo'd unmercifully and came up so small down the stretch, that many just wanted to see him cut flat out. His departure is a priority here, it's just a matter of what we'll get for him. I liked Pat a lot, but it's time for him to go.
Hey I'm just reporting what both myself and DevilFan read on the Phillies forum. I thought it was shocking because I too had heard similar sentiments about Burrell. I think most of the trade protests came from a few fans who were still scarred from the Abreu and Thome deals.
