Frank Klose of Philliedelphia created this goodie. Well, this is getting easier to figure out, even if it doesn't make much sense. Ruf got optioned, as did Jermaine Mitchell. Rodrigo Lopez got released. The Phillies are looking to make moves. So with that stuff all known, here's the latest roster projection: Rotation: Hamels, Halladay, Lee, […]
The Phillies certainly won in dramatic fashion yesterday with Darin Ruf's walkoff home run over Atlanta. Coincidentally, Ruf was informed that he was being optioned to AAA after the game. Ruf hit .246 (14-for-57) with six doubles, two home runs and nine RBIs in 19 Grapefruit League games, but his defense was attrocious. Ruben Amaro […]
Lefty Adam Morgan took the hill against Paul Maholm and the Braves this afternoon in Clearwater. The Phillies put up a run in the bottom of the second to take a 1-0 lead after Erik Kratz sent home Darin Ruf with a single. That was the first of three runs Darin Ruf would score this […]
A walk off home run was not enough in today's 7-6 victory over Atlanta to help Darin Ruf make the Phillies roster. Despite his offense coming around in recent weeks Ruf's defense needs work. On a day Delmon Young had four hits in a minor league game in which he homered. The Phillies also released […]
The Phillies headed to Ft. Myers, Florida tonight to take on Shane Victorino and the Boston Red Sox at Jet Blue Park, or Fenway South as it is better known. Cole Hamels took the hill for his team tonight and was looking extra sharp to continue a successful spring. In the top of the first, the […]
After a day off, not a lot has changed today in the Phillies roster situation. Yesterday though, some news was made. Today some non-field news was. Here's my latest: Doc will pitch in a minor league game Saturday. Dare I say there will be more attention there than Sarasota. Kendrick looked awesome yesterday. So the […]
Photo: Philliedelphia/Steve Trapani Roy Oswalt's agent told MLB Trade Rumors that he is working out and wishes to sign with a contender preferably to start or as a reliever. He wasn't all that great for Texas last season. He made 9 starts in 17 games pitching 59 innings to 5.80 ERA. His strike out/walk ratio […]
The Phillies were obliterated, 17-10 yesterday at the hand of the Atlanta Braves. Overall, the Phillies played terribly, accounting for three errors in the loss. Rodrigo Lopez took the loss after allowing 8 runs (7 earned) across two innings. This morning Lopez was optioned to minor-league camp after four appearances this spring. Lopez, 37, will […]
Well, the last two days have brought some interesting roster cuts, and a lot of offense, and yes, green uniforms. While your lucky charms might be getting a bit soggy by today, the race for the roster is heating up. What's the news of note? Justin De Fratus and Jake Diekman will be up the […]
Happy Saint Patrick's Day to all! What started out as a disastrous outing for one Roy Halladay turned into an excellent game for the Phillies bullpen against the Baltimore Orioles. In one inning, Doc allowed one hit, walked one, and struck out one before heading into the clubhouse. It was announced shortly after that Doc […]
