Phils talk to Hunsicker

Team president David Montgomery and Hunsicker met in Philly to discuss the Phillies' vacant GM post, and Hunsicker told reporters that the meeting was "productive."

When I worked for the paper in Williamsport, one year the minor league team there was a Mets affiliate and Hunsicker was the director of minor league operations for NY at the time. He seemed like a good guy. I will use whatever influence I have with him to try to draw him to Philly.

Pat Gillick, the former Blue Jays, Orioles and Mariners GM, also is considered a top candidate.

Also, the Philadelphia Inquirer said Montgomery is committed to changing the Zen's tiny leftfield dimensions in the offseason. That crashing sound you just heard was Pat Burrell's stock dropping.

The Daily New said that they were't sold on moving the fences back and if they did the max would be 3 rows. That really should hurt Pat much, but it might really hurt Libby.

Goodness I hate the spammer.

You really dis like Pat don't you?
Don’t worry if they trade him he’ll end up on the Tigers.
