Cubs_vs_white_d4df
The Philadelphia Phillies will be bringing back outfielder Scott Podsednik on a minor-league contract. Podsednik spent 2011 with the Triple-A Lehigh Valley IronPigs, hitting .245 in 59 plate appearances. He also missed the majority of the season with an injury. Podsednik is a 10-year major league veteran with a .279 career batting average to go with 301 stolen bases. He led the NL with 70 steals back in 2004 for the Milwaukee Brewers. Podsednik, 35, plays all three outfield positions, although he is best suited in left field. His contract next year includes an invitation to spring training with the big league club.

Via Buzz On Broad  |  November 29, 2011

The Phillies are interested in re-acquiring Travis D’Arnaud

Via Phuture Phillies  |  November 29, 2011
I thought this was an interesting little nugget included in Bob Elliot’s (Toronto Sun) column. The Phillies have discussed possible ways on how to re-acquire catcher Travis D’Araund from the Jays. Good luck. D’Arnaud is arguably the best prospect we’ve traded in the last 3 seasons. He appears to have star potential behind the plate if he can remain healthy....
