You will probably heard from the Phils front office - "If we don't trade Jon Lieber, we'll get nothing for him." This is the sane front office who has been telling us that we couldn't trade Lieber before the all star break because there weren't any offers and we couldn't trade him during the winter because no one wanted him and we couldn't trade him in spring-training because no one was interested. That hasn't changed, so if we "trade" Lieber it will be a straight salary dump which will deplete the team of its fifth starter who as unreliable as he is, always gets hot in September. We should not trade Lieber because:
1. We won't get anything of real value for him
2. We don't have a better fifth starter
3. We usually pitchers great in later August and September
So if the Phillies trade Lieber it means one thing they are looking to make a few extra bucks by saving his salary.
