With Burrell hitting the DL .. C Utley will benefit the most. He has hit very well this year and qualifies at 2B...Definite keeper potential!
Go Get Him !

I would pick him up for the short-term only unless you're in a keeper.

Utley happens to be one of my favorite guys, plenty of potential, just the dumb phils keep blocking him with Polanco, Bell, and Burrell. He's a second baseman, but he'll prob. see time at third and in left for the next couple of weeks.

Utley is still learning the ropes in LF and Bowa seems VERY reluctant to stick him out there. I agree that by the end of the season he will be there, but don't expect him to be a full-time player right away. I hope you're right, but I'd be surprised.
