Do you think the Phillies will trade anybody else before Monday?
-- Mike L., Philadelphia

Jeremy Hellickson could be traded before Monday's non-waiver Trade Deadline. He has not pitched as well as last season, but he is 6-5 with a 4.73 ERA in 20 starts. He could help somebody. There are some similarities between Hellickson and Joe Blanton, whom the Phillies acquired in July 2008. Blanton was 5-12 with a 4.96 ERA in 20 starts when the Phillies got him. He wasn't CC Sabathia, whom the Phillies tried to get and were unable to acquire.
