[Link] Outfielder Domonic Brown repeats as the top player in the Phillies' farm, followed by Kyle Drabek, Michael Taylor, Travis d'Arnaud, Trevor May, Anthony Gose, Sebastian Valle, Jarred Cosart, Antonio Bastardo...

What Are The Phillies’ 3B Options?

If the Phillies are to make a splash in the free agent market, it certainly seems like it will come at 3B, after they declined a relatively cheap option ($5 million) on Pedro Feliz. I think it was the right move, and with the market for 3B fairly robust, it gives us a chance to fill the one hole we had in our line-up in the playoffs this season. In this post, I will detail 8 options...

Feliz Option Declined

The Philadelphia Phillies announced a short while ago that they would not pick up Pedro Feliz’s $5.5 million option for 2010, according to multiple sources.

His [...]

Monday Morning...but no Quarterback

(This is a blog posted after Game 4 of the 2009 World Series) The hangover from last night's loss is one that may linger the longest. One out away...one strike away from tying the series 2-2 and guaranteeing another Amtrak trip back to New York. Then the Brad Lidge of 2008 made way for the Brad Lidge of 2009 returned. Lidge, after not being on the hill for 11 days, started...
