Chase Utley- Captain?



Should the Phillies name Chase Utley captain? As I switch between the Phillies game and Baseball Tonight's Trading Deadline Special, I saw John Kruk and Steve Philips discuss Utley and his hitting streak. Kruk and Philips agree that Gillick should sign Chase to a long-term contract and designate him as captain. The Yankees have Derek Jeter as captain and the Red Sox have Jason Varitek. Utley is up to their level in every aspect. He puts up numbers comparable to or better than them and has become very popular with the fans. This move would show that the Phils are going to build around Utley and this is his team. It would be a bold moves by the Phillies but a good one.
