I like it. I'm on record as down on Polanco, and that's decent. I'd rather scramble for closers than 2B.

great trade on your end. Phillips is an elite stud at a thin position, at the cost of an elite closer and not much else.

great trade for sure.

Should I draft Phillips?

Great trade for you, personally i belive closers aren't that valuable, well they are but you can easily pick one up throughout the season. like last year i picked up sherril and i think he got 30+ saves. great trade
