Just dropped in to see what condition my position was in

For each of the eight offensive positions, here’s the Phillies team OPS at the position, the rank of that OPS in the NL this year, the NL average for the season, the team’s OPS rank in the NL in 2008 and the ‘09 OPS for the position over the NL average OPS for the position [...]

Non-starter

The Playoff Start Log is updated and I think it says a lot about what went wrong for the Phillies in the World Series. In 2008 the Phils won it all, getting five quality starts in five World Series games. After Lee allowed one run in nine innings in game one of the [...]

Controversial decision not to start Mecha-King Ghidorah dooms Phils

In their defense, it would have been tough to start him after he said he couldn’t wait for the season to be over after game three. The. Yankees. Win. They beat a great Phillies team that fought to the end and still has a fantastic core with a lot of games left to play. [...]

BDD: The Mets Winning in 2010?

At Baseball Daily Digest, I explain why and how the New York Mets can contend with the Phillies for a division title in 2010. 2009 was not kind to the New York Mets. They lost 92 games, their highest total since ‘03. Fred Wilpon found himself involved in the Bernie Madoff ordeal. Eighteen Mets players spent [...]

The 2010 Bench

70% of the Phillies’ 2009 plate appearances were taken by the starting eight; only 14% were taken by bench players. With Matt Stairs and Eric Bruntlett gone, the Phillies now need to look for adequate bench players either from within or on the free agent market. I’ve perused the list of free agents at MLB Trade [...]

Saturday thread: Links to the Phillies' rumor mill

Aside from a few early reports on the Phillies' pursuit for a third baseman, there's been no new hot stove information since midweek. In the meantime, I've got nothing to add and will be taking a break from the blog for the rest of the weekend. If something comes up, chances are it will pop up on these two threads from FoxSports and ESPN. And if you see anything, be sure to share it with the group in the thread...

Need for bullpen, spare closer, can’t be taken lightly

Brad Lidge, who had a dreadful season, underwent flexor tendon surgery and his recovery could set him behind schedule. Meanwhile, J.C. Romero could also miss the early going. Bottom line: bullpen is a major issue for the Phillies. While the third base debate continues, here’s the dire situation in back of the Phillies’ bullpen. Brad Lidge was the worst closer in baseball last season. He just had elbow surgery. Ryan Madson again demonstrated his limitations as strictly an eighth-inning option...

Thursday morning: Phillies dropping hot corner hints

Baseball sources cited by Inquirer scribe Jim Salisbury believe Ruben Amaro has turned his attention toward the free agent trifecta of Placido Polanco, Mark DeRosa and Adrian Beltre. Chone Figgins and Miguel Tejada are expected to command too much for the Phillies to cover. [Link] Beerleaguer: Polanco, at the center of this report, would not be my first choice, and I'm uncertain that a move to third, after winning the Gold Glove at second, would be the best move for...
