Enrique Rojas of ESPN Deportes just tweeted something alarming for the Phillies. Translated to English, it reads:
"Beckett, Buchholz, and Lester are doubtful for the World Series. Panic in Red Sox Nation. Polanco for the Phillies" with a "future" tag.
I'm no Spanish speaker, but is this a prediction for the future, or does he know something we don't? Certainly Polanco missing the World Series would be nothing compared to the Red Sox losing Beckett, Buchholz and Lester.
I think he is speculating. Either way, the Phillies could stand to get a veteran utility infielder for the stretch. Wilson Betemit, anyone?
