Placido Polanco
Posted by Erik Seybold (Photo Courtesy of Lindsey Crew) Yesterday's loss was not only annoying, but the game itself was just plain old boring. 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 After being named the home opener starting pitcher, Cole Hamels (0-1, 3.86 ERA) will make his fifth Grapefruit League start this afternoon against a Boston Red Sox split squad. In his last outing, Hamels lasted just 3 1/3 innings against the Blue Jays, allowing four earned runs on eight hits, while […]
Posted by Erik Seybold. In the first inning of yesterday's 4-3 win over the Toronto Blue Jays, Placido Polanco dove back to first base head first on a pickoff throw and wound up injuring his left ring finger. He toughed it out for an inning, but left the game in the third inning to have […]
Starting today, I will do a daily update on the Phillies roster, and what I think it looks like. So, here we go. In my view, the top decision facing Ruben and Charlie is what to do with Domonic Brown. We all knew it would be in the end, right? The dude's insanely talented, and […]
Posted by Frank Klose Courtesy mlblogs.com Well, it's lunch again, so I guess I have some time to post something, and the reports that the Phillies are interested in 3B Aramis Ramirez and also shopping Placido Polanco certainly have given me something to muse while I eat my sausage gumbo. Why might the Phillies make such […]
Posted by Frank Klose According to Howard Eskin, Ryan Howard has indeed torn his achillies and will be out until at least May or June. So, what can the Phillies do until then? 1) Play John Mayberry Jr. at first base and pick up another outfielder. John Mayberry mostly played first base in college. However, […]
Source: Philly.com Sports According to multiple sources, including Matt Gelb of the Philadelphia Inquirer, Cole Hamels will miss his next scheduled start Friday with minor shoulder inflammation. Good news: There is no structural damage. Additionally, Placido Polanco is going to postpone sports hernia surgery until after the season. He believes that, like Raul Ibanez in 2009, […]
Posted by Kevin Durso Shane Victorino didn't shy away from questions about his actions on Friday night. He knew this was coming, but what he didn't know was how long or for what he would be sitting out games for. Shane Victorino was suspended by Major League Baseball for three games due to actions in […]
Posted by Stephen Gallo courtesy phillysportscentral.com Looks like you'll have to save your "All Polanco does is hit" tweets for the time being, Phillies fans. The Phillies have placed Placido Polanco on the 15 day DL with back inflammation. The move is retroactive to July 5, so technically Polanco could be back by late next […]
Posted by Frank Klose Enrique Rojas of ESPN Deportes just tweeted something alarming for the Phillies. Translated to English, it reads: "Beckett, Buchholz, and Lester are doubtful for the World Series. Panic in Red Sox Nation. Polanco for the Phillies" with a "future" tag. I'm no Spanish speaker, but is this a prediction for the […]
