Expect big things from Costanzo in a couple of years. He hit 27 homeruns last year in a full season at AA Reading. Overall, I as a Phillies fan, love the acquisition of Lidge at the back end of our bullpen. If we can move on a reliever like Scott Linebrink or David Riske the offseason will be a successful one.<BR><BR>Pops<BR>Philadelphia, Pa.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1558550671531180406.post-24788320573168647312007-11-08T19:59:00.000-06:002007-11-08T19:59:00.000-06:00Phillies made out in the short term but long term ...Phillies made out in the short term but long term I think Bourn will be a great future leadoff off hitter in the National League, Costanzo was Wade's last 1st round pick before leaving the Phillies. Although Wade never produced at the trade deadline he still brought up players from the minors as Rollins, Utley, Madson and Howard was in the minors when he left. But in the end if this frees up money for the Phillies to resign Rowand then the Phils definately made out better no matter what the future holds for Bourn or Costanzo.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1558550671531180406.post-36898197841793849832007-11-09T00:39:00.000-06:002007-11-09T00:39:00.000-06:00i like this trade alot i just didnt feel bourne fi...i like this trade alot i just didnt feel bourne fit the look of a phillie he's a great player and wish the best for himAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
