This should smooth things over between Phillies GM Ruben Amaro Jr. and the team's easily irritated and ever-impatient fan base.

In addition to keeping quiet about a long list of trade possibilities involving veterans, Amaro also remains adamant about not rushing prospects who could replace those veterans.

“I think we’re going to be conservative,” he said (via CSNPhilly.com).

Moreover, he doesn't care that that won't sit well with fans who are enduring a 19-28 start after last season's 73-89 disappointment.

“They don’t understand the game,” Amaro said. "They don’t understand the process. There’s a process. And then they bitch and complain because we don’t have a plan. There’s a plan in place and we’re sticking with the plan."

Fans, however, want to see the Phillies be aggressive with their prospects.

Case in point: a pair of 21-year-old pitching prospects at Double-A Reading, Aaron Nola (6-3, 1.87 ERA) and Zach Eflin (4-3, 2.28).

While it’s not out of the question that certainly Eflin — and maybe Nola, too — could earn a big-league look later this season, Amaro says neither will be hurried to the majors. That's not exactly good news for fans of a team whose starting pitchers' ERA is 4.32, 13th among the 15 NL teams.

"We can’t do what’s best for the fan," Amaro said. "We have to do what’s best for the organization so the fan can reap the benefit of it later on. That’s the truth.”
