We are reaching a crisis point here as Phillies fans. People are beginning to imagine a player, currently on another team, wearing the Phillies pinstripes in a few years. John Stolnis talked about it last week. Justin Klugh wrote at length a few weeks ago about how little the Phillies have done to recruit him. Now, it seems the thought of this player coming to the Phillies is beginning to enter an even larger audience.
It began in November. Local writers, desperate for attention, began postulating that the team should always be thinking about Mike Trout when they formulate their plans going forward.
