Patrons at Bogey's agree that Phillies' Right Fielder Hunter Pence has the look of an early 1900's ballplayer. . .
Maybe there's a resemblance there-- but we have found his true identity. . .
In the off-season he sings for Coldplay under the stage name Chris Martin. . .
Still not sure?
Yup, there's no question!

With player movement in full swing, I’ll try to get this updated (it’s always available on the right side-bar) as often as I can.
First, let’s take a look at our payroll situation post-Papelbon.
The players are in order of team control (oh, hey Ryan Howard), and in secondary order by salary amount. And it goes out as far as we have salary obligations.
Some comments...

The 2011 Philadelphia Phillies went 102-60 and won the National League east. They fell a little short to eventual World Series champion the St. Louis Cardinals in the NLCS. They may have a few issues, but the numbers should tell us were they need a little tweaking.
They did go 43-29 against their four divisional rivals. However, an 8-10 record against the third place Washington...

Last week, we got a tip that Rosenhaus may have been pitting (to no ones surprise) two teammates on the Eagles against each other in order to sign one of them.
Now we learned he may not be the only agent in the city up to no good.
Buzz on Broad has learned that baseball super agent Scott Boras may have fabricated the reported 4-year, $44 million dollar deal that was reportedly...

Today is the last day for teams to add minor leaguers to the 40 man roster and protect them from the Rule 5 draft held at next month’s winter meetings. The Phillies will have a few interesting decisions of course, and I’ll update this space when everything is decided. As of right now, the 40 man roster looks like this:

Jonathan Papelbon is gone to the Phillies. I have mixed feelings. About.comBaseball listed Pap as number 1 on its site of free agent relievers, and with good reason. Despite his bad ending in 2011, he had 30-plus saves for the sixth consecutive year. The only Sox reliever that he really can be compared to is Dick Radatz in the long forgotten days of the early 60's. When the Monster...
