From their website:
Although I really liked Robinson Tejeda, Dave Dellucci will be a good fit in Philadelphia. I'd imagine Pat Burrell or Bobby Abreu are getting dealt for a starting pitcher relatively soon (CSN has been talking about such a deal for days now).

Dellucci is a very good player, and I hate to see him leave the Rangers. I loved to go see him play.

wow, tejada was practicall the Philllies best pitcher after the all star break, although he wouldn't really get a chance with the way their rotation is last year.
If the Phils dont get a great SP, young 3B or catcher though, I don't think it's worth tradiing Burrell or Abreu...

Tejada was a really great pitcher last season, but he doesn't strike me as a standout star in the future. I agree with McGahee that Abreu or Burrell would only be worth trading if we acquired a starting pitcher. If we could solidify our pitching, we'd be a half decent team and not have to hope Ryam Madsen can handle starting.

I wouldn't be worried about Madsen. From what I saw, he had a very good spring (probably better than Lieber or Lidle, who I think are at the top of the rotation). He'll have his slip-ups, but he is a true starter that was just forced to the bullpen last year. Him and Gavin Floyd could become one of the best bottom-of-the-rotation pitchers if they do as well now as they did in the spring...
