Utley hasn't been a good player for a very long time now.
Someone earlier mentioned him as a top 10 2nd baseman...I don't think so. But he was great for a stretch.

Hornsby
Collins
Lajoie
Morgan
Gehringer
Carew
Robinson

Those guys are clearly ahead of him. That's seven.
Then you've got Biggio, Alomar and Whitaker (who I think is underrated).

And then you've gotta figure where he ranks among Cano, Sandberg, Randolph and Kent.
I could see an argument for 10th, but barely.
And by the time Altuve retires, this won't even be a discussion, so....

:manny:

Imagine if anybody else pulled that “Boo me f**k you” comment during the World Series run and get away with it :mjpls:
But still :salute:

It was rollins
Utley
And Chooch as far as fan fare ranking in the city during that time. nikkas had a real love-hate thing with that nikka Ryan. Bless his heart tho, thats my guy :wow:
Naw, i think Victorino had more love than jRoll. I was in college that year, cacs love that nicca Shane...
Id say as far as fanfare it was:
Chase
Shane
Pat the Bat
Jimmy
Chooch
Jamie Moyer old ass
Hamels
then Howard
 

Leasy

Let's add some Alizarin Crimson & Van Dyke Brown

I'd rather not turn this into a chase vs Howard argument, because I've heard enough of that dumb shyt throughout their prime years here.

The 2007 phillies team was my favorite team of all time. Never missed a game and if you remember there were some nights they weren't even on TV. This top half of the lineup was American league status.

Rollins
Victorino
Utley
Howard
Werth

One of the GOAT top 1-5 hitting lineups.

shyt during the World Series run you forgot Pat Burrell them nikkas all had over 20 plus HRs shyt unreal

I miss being a baseball city. Don’t get me wrong I’m glad the birds won the chip but something about having a dope ass baseball team :wow:

Every night on PHL17 was fukkery.

The crowds at CBP were lit every night :whew:

The whole city tuning in for October baseball :ahh:
