Pricey gift: MLB offers Series film set for $2,229

Major League Baseball has the perfect gift to bust a budget in a recession.

Phillies say Gillick not returning to Toronto

The Phillies strongly deny a pair of stories in the Toronto Star indicating that Pat Gillick, who became their general manager before the 2006 season and helped the franchise win only its second world championship 3 years later, could be heading back to the organization where he first made his reputation as a top executive.

For Phillies, expect few fireworks in free agency

SEVEN YEARS AGO, the Phillies publicly pursued free-agent slugger Jim Thome. At the stroke of midnight on the deadline that teams could make formal offers, then-general manager Ed Wade fired off an e-mail and followed it up with a long, from-the-heart letter.

Phillies GM Amaro says 3B, bullpen the priority

Phillies general manager Ruben Amaro Jr. was on his way to Citizens Bank Park at 8 a.m. on Thursday to make final preparations for baseball's free-agent signing period, which got under way at midnight Friday.

Manuel falls short for NL manager of year

Charlie Manuel's 2009 regular-season resume - 93 victories and a third consecutive National League East title - is pretty darn good.

Reports: Dodgers, Cubs stalk Martinez

It seems unlikely that the Phillies will bring back Pedro next season.

The sixth nonsense

Charlie Manuel finished sixth in the voting for NL Manager of the Year. Sixth? Moving on, here’s the rates some free agents who could fill the Phils need at third base tallied hits, walks, doubles and triples, home runs and extra-base hits per 100 plate appearances for their last season in which they [...]

Singles function

Continuing with the numbers from the last post, for the eight Phillies regulars, here’s how often they got hits or walks, singles or walks or extra-base hits or walks per 100 plate appearances in 2009:   H or BB 1B or BB XBH or BB Howard 35.1 22.9 22.9 Utley 36.2 27.1 22.0 Feliz 30.2 23.2 12.6 Rollins 29.2 19.7 15.6 Ibanez 34.0 21.8 22.1 Victorino 34.7 25.8 17.6 Werth 36.1 26.8 22.8 Ruiz 34.0 24.5 21.9 If you order them by their chance to get any kind [...]

Annual reviews

Quick — when Ryan Howard, Chase Utley, Pedro Feliz, Raul Ibanez and Jayson Werth came to the plate in 2009, who was the most likely to get a hit? Wrong. Okay, I’m guessing. But if you answered Pedro Feliz you’re way better at this than I am. Feliz got hits in a higher [...]

Chronic Critics

Dajafi at The Good Phight has written a thought-provoking piece about suspending judgment on the Phillies’ off-season moves. Most of us in the Phillies blogosphere (including yours truly) were highly critical not only of most of Amaro’s dealings, but also of his hiring in the first place. In his year-plus as the Phillies’ GM, his [...]

If They Only Knew

With a hat tip to BBTF, I’m pleased to link you to former Phillie Darren Daulton’s new website, Dutch2012.com. He’s promoting his book about the end of the world in 2012, called If They Only Knew. Daulton has claimed that he has traveled through time and has had extra-dimensional experiences. Expectedly, Daulton’s claims are all verified [...]

The Case Against J.A. Happ

Now that we’re about two weeks removed from the end of the World Series, a lot of the anti-Cole Hamels sentiment seems to have died down. The calls for the almost-26-year-old to be traded have been squelched and the Phillies fan base is focused on a potential acquisition of Roy Halladay via trade or a [...]

Money isn’t only matter standing in Figgins’ way

Insiders think Chone Figgins will command upwards of five-years, $50 million in free agency. Some believe he’s best suited to remain with the Angels, but one could argue that the Phillies need him most. Today, David Murphy continued his free agent primer with a look at third base, noting that among Major League third basemen, Pedro Feliz ranked 18th in on-base percentage (.308) and 18th in OPS (.694). He also noted, as others have, too, that the Phils’ 7-hole production...

Beerleaguer for breakfast: Feliz fits Orioles’ needs

As of midnight, teams are square to negotiate with free agents. Third baseman Pedro Feliz, considered a fallback for the Phillies, has drawn early interest from Baltimore. Feliz, along with Adrian Beltre, heads Baltimore’s short list to replace Melvin Mora at third, according to the Baltimore Sun. While Beltre would likely require a longer, more lucrative deal, the Orioles view Feliz as a stopgap measure until prospect Josh Bell is ready, according to the Sun. Meanwhile, the Phillies are hunting...

DeRosa would deliver marginal upgrade at best

FOXSports, citing a Major League source, has listed the Phillies as the favorites to land Mark DeRosa. Despite a 23-homer season, expectations should be tempered. In a nutshell, here’s the problem with Mark DeRosa: we’ve seen him before and didn’t like the results. The Phillies need a third baseman. For various reasons, some good (the existence of Chipper Jones), some not so good (not seen as everyday player), DeRosa has never started more than 100 games at the position, setting...
