Anything could happen with the Phillies this off-season. They could sign Yasmani Tomas. They could trade Howard/Utley/Rollins/Hamels/Byrd/anyone. They could make some moves to bring prospects in. We could all finally find out if Yasmani ends with an ‘i’ or a ‘y’. And sure, they could move Cody Asche to the outfield because why not.
According to Hardball Talk, the Phillies have discussed the possibility of making Asche a corner outfielder to make room for Maikel Franco at third base. This all depends on Ryan Howard’s status — if the Big Piece is gone, Franco can play first and Asche will remain at third. Additionally, if Howard stays, we’ll all be super salty about it for months.
