Young and Restless (UPDATE 3/10/2011)
Posted on 10 Feb 2011 by Christopher Rowe.
UPDATE 3/10/2011—– UPDATE 3/10/2011 Michael Young's unhappiness and desire to be traded has been public for several weeks. Potential suitors have been reluctant to approach due to Young's price tag and his “five-and-ten” impending status. It seems that the Arizona Diamondbacks have renewed their efforts to acquire Young from the Texas Rangers, according to sources includ...

Starting Lineup Projections
Posted on 27 Jan 2011 by Christopher Rowe.
Recently, I wrote about the pitching projections (Jan. 3, Phillies Pitching Projections) from The Bill James Handbook 2011. Now it is time for the projected starting lineup. Since Manuel has not tipped his hand yet as to what his plans are, you're left to my own devices and powers of deduction. Several variables apply. Naturally there is the right field situation. Will it be Francisco? Platoon ...

WERTH SIGNS WITH NATIONALS
Posted on 5 Dec 2010 by Christopher Rowe.
Jayson Werth has made a decision and will continue to call the “National League East” home in 2010. He remains in the Mid-Atlantic area and he did not opt to sign with the New York Yankees, New York Mets, Baltimore Orioles or the Boston Red Sox – as was originally expected. Surprisingly Jayson Werth and his agent, Scott Boras, have agreed to a 7-year, $126 million contract wit...

Make an offer Werth can’t Refuse!
Posted on 27 Nov 2010 by Christopher Rowe.
It is not news that Jayson Werth is the best free agent on the market. It is also not news that the odds of Jayson Werth being a Phillies in 2011 vary somewhere between “slim” and “none.” The Phillies have made it clear that they have other salary and contract considerations and that they “have to draw the line somewhere.” Media sharks have placed Werth into ...

Sign Werth, Trade Ibanez and Praise Amaro
Posted on 18 Nov 2010 by Christopher Rowe.
GM Meetings over... nothing accomplished? Ruben Amaro Jr. left the general managers meetings Thursday without an established left-handed reliever and without saying anything about the status of negotiations – should we say non-negotiations? – with free-agent slugger Jayson Werth. But Amaro did have a lot of nice things to say about Raul Ibanez, which left one to wonder if the Phillies’ ...

Phillies 2010 Good Season, Bad Ending
Posted on 26 Oct 2010 by Christopher Rowe.
The 2010 season has ended for the Phillies. It ended badly. It ended abruptly. We still are processing the details of how and why it ended and likely will continue to process these emotions throughout the offseason. Hope springs eternal and the familiar mantra of “there's always next year” has already been declared – be it right or wrong. As with anything in Life, it is bene...

Phightin’ Phils…Phight No More
Posted on 24 Oct 2010 by Christopher Rowe.
A baseball season lasts 162 games. April to early October. Add in a month of Spring Training exhibition games, conditioning, drills and the 2010 Phillies season began in mid-February. The Phillies 2010 season and postseason ended on October 23 when they defeated themselves. All due credit to the San Francisco Giants who played one helluva series… but the Phillies were the more talented team a...

WERTH THE WAIT, PHILS READY FOR PLAYOFFS
Posted on 20 Sep 2010 by Christopher Rowe.
Werth HR sealed a walkoff win vs. Washington Perhaps it took most of the regular season (150 games) and doubtless there have been a lot of injuries (17 players on DL) but the Philadelphia Phillies can PHInally be considered the best team in baseball. Their 89 wins place them behind the Yankees (90) and tied with Minnesota and Tampa Bay (89) but this team is PHIring on all cylinders and is clear...

NO EXCUSES, PHILS SADDLE UP FOR STRETCH RUN
Posted on 9 Aug 2010 by Christopher Rowe.
Just this past week, the Phillies just played their first week of baseball without Ryan Howard, Chase Utley and Shane Victorino. They went 6-1 on the week, completing a run of 14 wins in 17 games (including a 12 game home winning streak) and with construction of a new high-speed light rail commuter line between Lehigh Valley and Philadelphia. The Philadelphia to Houston spur is still being buil...

PHIGHTIN’ PHILS RELOAD: DEADLINE DEALS & RETURNING STARS
Posted on 31 Jul 2010 by Christopher Rowe.
What do Roy Halladay, Cliff Lee, Joe Blanton, Pedro Martinez, Jamie Moyer and Roy Oswalt all have in common? Well aside from the fact that they have each worn Phillies pinstripes over the past 3 seasons, these are the net results of deals by the Phils front office to spur this amazing playoff run. 2007-2009 seasons have seen the Philies collect 3 NL East titles (2007 was the Phils first NL East...

Dice K Continues his Yo-Yo Season By Flirting With a No-Hitter
Posted on 23 May 2010 by "Baseball Brenda" Sepanek.
Daisuke Matsuzaka has been an absolute mystery this year. He had another shaky performance last Monday against the Yankees because of his signature “bad inning.” Last night in Philadelphia, not only did he escape having a bad inning, but he took a no-hitter into the 8th inning and the Red Sox won 5-0. One game he gives up four runs before even recording an out and the next he is pit...

Hope May Spring Eternal, But Lunacy Springs In The First Week
Posted on 9 Apr 2010 by Bryan Sargent.
Nothing makes me chuckle more than the reactions of fans and critics during the first couple weeks of the baseball season. A team or player has a rough start? Time to panic! A light-hitting second basemen hits three home runs in his first two games? Time to be on the official 73 watch! Now the reason I say “chuckle” and not “ROTFLMAO…” is because I am ever-so-slightly guilty of...
