I would say, yes.
Pat Burrell is probably the most inconsistent player that has ever existed in Philadelphia. He at times, does things (like hit 450-ft HRs) that make you say "wow" then he'll strike out the next 4 times looking and you want to commit suicide. With Burrell's outlandish salary and no-trade clause, he needs a change of scenery as I feel he's mentally done in Philly.
I think that Victorino could easily replace Burrell in LF if Rowand doesn't get traded back to CHI. Michael Bourn is the CF of the future so I think that Victorino will be a good corner outfielder for sometime.

Probably. The problem is, he has a no-trade clause, and he'll only waive it to go to the Red Sox, Yankees, or Orioles. I don't see any of those teams wanting him (Red Sox maybe if the Phillies will take Wily Mo Pena, but I don't see that as a good fit).

I think a fresh start would be good for him, and he still has enough value that the Phillies could get a good player or prospect in return.

Yes, he has a no trade clause though.

Yes they most def. should..Here are my reasons..He has no more talent as you could see from last year, he's being overpayed, and he is simply dead weight on the team
