Tyson Brummett, we hardly knew thee. Today the Phillies began clearing space on their 40-man roster, attempting to outright RHP Tyson Brummett, IF Pete Orr, and C Steven Lerud to AAA Lehigh Valley. Brummet did not make it through waivers and was claimed in the exchange by the Toronto Blue Jays, reports MLB.com's Todd Zolecki.
The Phillies will need to clear roster space for offseason moves. By removing Brummett, Orr, and Lerud, the Phillies stand at 37 players, in addition to four players on the 60-day disabled list. Having those players on the 60-day disabled list opened up roster space during the season, but they need to find their way back onto the 40-man roster this offseason.
Of the four injured players, Jose Contreras and Brian Schneider are good bets not to return. Their contracts are expiring and the Phillies have other, cheaper options. David Herndon and Michael Stutes will need to be added to the roster. The rules give the Phillies until November 20th to ad...

I am a wannabe GM, so here goes...2013 is going to be a transition year at many positions on the diamond for the Phillies, but I believe the solution for 3rd base is an easy and inexpensive one. Sure, fans are going to say, "Trade for David Wright or Chase Headley." Ha, keep dreaming. Let's go with something we already have, plus a reinforcement. Kevin Frandsen...

I was an 8 year old growing up in Chicago when my dad took me to a Cubs/Phillies doubleheader in 1950. The Cubs stunk, even back then, but none of them would sign my scorecard. Seeing my disappointment, my dad took me over to the Phillies side between games and when the teams came back out, one of the Phillies (none of whom I knew), saw my outstretched hand and stopped to sign my...

Phillies need A-Rod in lineup
The Phillies have a need, in fact, they have lots of needs. It should be an interesting off-season for fans as GM, Ruben Amaro, Jr., tries to re-tool this roster and turn it back into a championship contender. There’s lot of debate as to who the Phillies must pursue in free agency or via trades, but the one thing he must do before the start of spring...

Big Joe was the same old (AP)
Back in June, I asked if Joe Blanton was throwing too many strikes. It seemed that he was afraid to walk anyone.
During his time with the Phillies this season, Blanton’s K/BB ratio was 6.39, eclipsing his previous career high of 3.50 set in 2007 with Oakland. Big Joe was absolutely pounding the strike zone this season, almost to a fault. By throwing...
