Is the end of the Chase Utley era upon us?

*sigh*

Is there any other appropriate reaction to the news this morning that Ruben Amaro Jr. has said that Chase Utley likely won't be the starting second baseman when he returns from his stint on the disabled list?

Amaro was asked, point-blank, if he considered Utley the Phillies' primary second baseman upon his return from the DL.

"Not for me, he's not," Amaro said. "Cesar Hernandez is our best second baseman."

Amaro didn't drop the mic. He kept answering questions for another 15 minutes.

"I would assume that Cesar will be our second baseman," Amaro said.
