Lets not trade the farm for another. Big game tonight for Myers...he's been pretty brutal over the past month ans he has to show that he can be a go-to guy for this team Why the hell would anyone trade a top prospect (in our already weak farm system)… for Cabrera a guy with a career 4.89 ERA, and a WHIP of 1.51 …we’ve already had our fair share of average pitchers in Phillies uniforms.
