Photo: Fangirl In Training According to Fox Sports' Jon Morosi, the Phillies may be interested in utility infielder Mike Fontenot. The 31 year-old Fontenot was released by the San Francisco Giants on March 30, 2012 after posting a .278 avg in 13 Cactus League games. The Phillies have been searching for infield depth all Spring […]
(Photo: Philliedelphia/Lindsey Crew) Just last month, the Phillies had 40 men competing for a spot on the 25-man Opening Day roster. After last night's final decisions, the Opening Day roster is set and it's looking a bit blank with the absences of Ryan Howard and Chase Utley. Although the Phillies will start the season with […]
(Photo Philliedelphia/Lindsey Crew) The Phillies welcomed themselves back home last night with a 4-3 win over their cross-state rival Pittsburgh Pirates. In last night's On Deck game, small ball played the key factor in the Phillies' win. The Phils scored four runs on seven hits last night, including Juan Pierre's lead off double which resulted […]
Posted by Erik Seybold (Photo Philliedelphia/Lindsey Crew) The Phillies had a very ugly Spring and it's time to forget about it. Tonight, the Phillies are playing at Citizens Bank Park for the first time since Game 5 of the NLDS. The occasion: the 2012 On Deck Series. A couple of exhibition games between the Phillies […]

The Phillies lost the nearly four hour game to the Yankees, 13-9 and brought their Spring record down to 12-15-3. Today, Roy Halladay (1-1, 5.40 ERA) will make his final Grapefruit […]
Posted by Erik Seybold The Phillies will play the Yankees for the final time this Spring when they travel to George M. Steinbrenner Field tonight. With the rosters being shrunken quickly, the Phillies will make most of their cuts by the end of the night. Yesterday, Juan Pierre was named to the 40-man roster. Pierre […]
Posted by Erik Seybold (Photo Courtesy of Terry Foote/Flikr)Yesterday's pitching performance from Vance Worley was anything but pretty. The Vanimal was very off against the Twins, allowing 11 runs in the first four innings. Hopefully, Cole Hamels (1-1, 4.00 ERA) can have a better start today as he takes on the Tampa Bay Rays. Hamels will […]

Posted by Erik Seybold Courtesy mlblogs.com The Phillies have finally added some infield depth to their organization. This afternoon, they signed seven-year veteran Joe Thurston to a minor-league deal. With the absences of Chase Utley, Ryan Howard, and now Michael Martinez (broken foot), the Phillies have little to none depth in their infield. The 32 […]
