View image | gettyimages.com Earlier this week, Ryan Howard's no-trade clause details were revealed, as he listed nine teams he would approve a trade to. Unfortunately none of those teams are really in need of a 1B/DH, so the Phillies options to trade the "Big Piece" are limited at best. In a recent artice […]
Whether or not you wanted to see Jimmy Rollins leave this offseason, it will be weird seeing a Phillies team without him. The heart and soul of the team's playoff run from 2007-11 is now in Los Angeles as the Phillies look to rebuild a team that has stooped below mediocrity over the past few […]
With the departure of Marlon Byrd in the rear view mirror, the 2015 outfield for the Phillies looks to be a combination of Domonic Brown, Ben Revere, Darin Ruf, Grady Sizemore and maybe even Jeff Franceour. The one dark horse to get some increased playing time would be Rule 5 pick, Odubel Herrera. Picked up […]
The Phillies have now gotten this rebuilding process underway, dealing Rollins and Byrd for three young pitchers. Replenishing the weak farm system with young pitching with upside was Amaro's goal from the start and it seems like he is getting his way thus far.

We all know what the picture above signifies. It was the play that ended the playoff run for the 102 win team. It was the injury that likely ended Ryan Howard's productive career.

A couple of weeks ago, the Sixers completed a trade with the Nets, sending Brandon Davies to Brooklyn in exchange for veteran forward Andrei Kirilenko and other pieces. While it was widely expected for the Sixers to waive Kirilenko, it seems like they hope for him to suit up for the team so they can […]
Cole Hamels has been the hot topic this offseason when it comes to the Phillies. The first notable move of the rebuild was finalized over the last week with Jimmy Rollins being dealt to the Dodgers for two pitching prospects. LA seemed to be a possible landing spot for Cole Hamels as well but that […]
View image | gettyimages.com This past weekend, Ruben Amaro admitted that he talked to long-time Phillies first baseman, Ryan Howard, and that the team would be better without him moving forward. With $73 million remaining on Howard's deal, not only would the Phillies have to find someone willing to take on an aging slugger, […]
View image | gettyimages.com A 3.75 ERA over 20 starts may not turn a lot of heads, but David Buchanan did pretty much everything that was asked of him in 2014, doing an admirable job filling in for an irreplacable guy like Cliff Lee. On a team of aging veterans, many considered Buchanan's performance […]
