Brad Lidge Placed on DL

Found March 24, 2008 on All Things Philly Sports: Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: Tom Gordon,  Brad Lidge
TEAMS: Philadelphia Phillies

Lidgephils
The Phillies were hopeful that Brad Lidge would start the season healthy enough to contribute right away, but it's not going to happen. Lidge was placed on the 15 day disabled list, retroactive to March 21st, meaning the first day he could be activated would be for the sixth game of the season, April 6th against the Reds. Lidge is still dealing with knee issues, and he hasn't regained his form and velocity quite yet.

Brad Lidge To Start Season On DL - Tom Gordon To Close

Brad Lidge was placed on the 15 day DL today. We examine the fantasy impact and tell you when you can expect Lidge to return.

Phillies to Lidge: Dont Rush!

Via My Sports Rumors  |  March 25, 2008
The Philadelphia Phillies have no plans in letting closer Brad Lidge rush himself back this time. Yesterday, Lidge was placed on the 15-day disabled list retroactively to March 21st (the last major league game in which he appeared). This makes him eligible to return to the team on April 5th, only a few days into regular season. The move came after Lidge's shaky outing versus...

Phillies Place 3 Pitchers on DL

Via All Things Philly Sports  |  March 23, 2008
The Phillies placed pitchers Francisco Rosario, Mike Zagurski and Scott Mathieson on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to March 21st. Zagurski and Mathieson have been injured all spring, so the move comes as no surprise for them, but this is the first I have heard that Rosario was injured. Rosario, who was battling for a bullpen spot, has a strained right shoulder.

Inky's Best and worst of Phillies outfielders

Via Hugging Harold Reynolds  |  March 24, 2008
Today Inky staff writer Don McKee's Morning Report featured the "Best and worst of Phillies outfielders." QUITE FRANKLY, McKee didn't hold back one iota. In conversing with our friends at The 700 Level, we agreed that it's about time we saw some biting Phils coverage in an otherwise tame spring.

Phils Predictions- Position Players

Via We Should Be GM's  |  March 24, 2008
Carlos Ruiz Carson - .271-10-61 - I see him becoming a reliable backstop in terms of defense and handling the pitching staff, as well as turning into a quality 8-hole hitter. He has decent speed for a catcher, so mix in 5 steals and 65 runs scored. Corey - .277-9-57 - With more big league at-bats, should see average eventually climb to the .280 range. I don't see the power...

Phils Predictions- Pitchers

Via We Should Be GM's  |  March 25, 2008
Cole Hamels Carson - 16-8 3.55 - He has amazing stuff, there's no questioning that. However, I do question his motivation and fortitude sometimes. Corey - 15-6 3.67 - Won't pitch enough games (back? elbow?) to win 20. Will lead the team in complaining about non-issues and chiropractic visits. Brett Myers Carson - 17-9 3.88 - He's the staff's workhorse and will...

Phillies Roster Cut Down to 27

Via All Things Philly Sports  |  March 25, 2008
The Phillies made three more player moves today, cutting their camp roster down to 27 players. Pitcher Travis Blackley, a Rule 5 pick, was placed on waivers. Vic Darensbourg and Gary Knotts, a pair of journeymen relievers, were reassigned to the minor league camp. None of these moves comes as a surprise, although there had been some rumblings at Beerleaguer.com that Darensbourg was...

Revisiting the Bobby Abreu Trade

Via All Things Philly Sports  |  March 24, 2008
The Hardball Times posted a great article today that looks back on the Phillies trade of Bobby Abreu to the Yankees back in July 2006. Now that 20 months have passed since the trade, the article weighs in on the impact for both teams and comes to the conclusion that there was no real winner. While the Yankees got the better players (don't forget the late Cory Lidle was part of...

Phillies Not Interested in Fultz, Zagurski's Season May be Over

Via All Things Philly Sports  |  March 25, 2008
*Phillies don't want Fultz: Following up on yesterday's story, Aaron Fultz was released by the Cleveland Indians, but, according to assistant GM Ruben Amaro, the Phillies aren't interested in adding the former Phillie to the bullpen. *Zagurski may need surgery: It may be a while before we see former fan favorite Mike Zagurski pitching for the Phillies again. According...
