Today on "Power Alley" with Jim Duquette and Mike Ferrin, Phillies manager Charlie Manuel was a guest.  In the interview, the hosts asked Manuel about whether or not the Phillies could play Chase Utley at third base sometime before the season ends.  Manual is willing to play Utley at third base right now.  However, the decision, Manuel said, rests upon whether or not Utley wants to play third base.

"I'll put him over there".  Manuel said.  "If he comes up to me and says he wants to play third…I dont care where he plays as long as he is in there".

Interesting.  Being that it was reportedly Utley who made the suggestion that he play third base, so if Utley feels like like he's ready, then we could see him there soon.
