Apparently the Phillies are starting to wonder if Utley has more than just tendonitis. If that?s the case, the team could be in serious trouble heading into the beginning of a season in which it is the odds-on favorite to win the World Series.
If Utley is seriously injured ? which is a distinct possibility give his lack of healing thus far ? the Phillies will be left scrambling to make a move to plug their hole at second base. While Placido Polanco and Wilson Valdez each are capable of playing second base, it would leave a hole in the lineup and the Phillies would likely seek to make a move via trade instead.
If Utley is out for a long time, that would seriously impact the Phillies? chances for dominating the seas...
