It seems that the Phillies are determined to hasten their decline. Holland sizzled for them a few years ago, but fizzled last year. I believe he checked-in a few lbs overweight this year, and was banished to the doghouse. Meanwhile, the Pirates get to right past wrongs by re-aquiring Holland. With Candalaria in the bullpen, there was no more need for an aging Tekulve. At best, Holland will return to his former ways. At worst, the Pirates merely have a younger, stronger right-handed complement to Candalaria. It seems to me that, in the long run, the Phillies stand the chance of being the big loser in this trade, once again.
