Cesar Hernandez is a Venezuelan born infielder that was signed as an amateur free agent by the Phillies at the age of 16. Since then, Hernandez has proven to be sharp on defense with some outstanding speed on the bases and a productive bat. As the 5-foot-10-inch 160-pounder has shown in recent years, he’s deserving of considerable recognition as a rising infielder in the Phillies’ system.Hernandez made his professional debut with the Venezuelan Summer League at the age of 17. In two seasons there, he tallied a .296 batting average with 3 HR and 45 RBI in 114 games.The current Phillies 40-man roster member played with the Gulf Coast League Phillies in 2009, where he batted .267 with 5 doubles and a triple in 41 games.In 2010, as a member of the NY-Penn League’s (short-season Class A) Williamsport Crosscutters, Hernandez was voted as the Most Valuable Player of the club by his teammates. He proved clutch with the ‘Cutters, posting a .400 average (16-for-40...

It started as a seed in the soil. Two seasons ago, I asked Brian Michael to put up the money for an HD Flip Cam. I though nightly/weekly reports from Citizens Bank Park would show that we were THE insider blog. The “Phillies Nation Phancast” was done from time to time (when I could find someone to hold a camera for me) and wasn’t the greatest production in the world...

February 05, 2012
How do the 2012 Philadelphia Phillies and Roy Halladay measure up to the ace-laden trios in baseball history? Up until now, this span-of-time issue has stymied everybody, but–unlike Joe Lewis versus Muhammad Ali–baseball statistics are plus-and-minus flexible. With a compensating system, you can minimize the differences from the dead-ball era to the current day, including...

Player Profile #77: Chase Utley | 2B | PHI
Via Baseball Professor

February 06, 2012
It was just two short years ago that Chase Utley hit 31 homers, scored 112 runs, drove in 93 and stole 23 bases on his way to a 12th overall ranking. Now Utley ranks all the way down at 77, a ranking that feels more generous than anything else. Injuries have cost him significant portions of the last two seasons, and his hitting skills have seemingly eroded with time. Last season...

The headline is a bit overblown, I’ll admit, but the blowback from the Nats’ “Take Back the Park” campaign is annoying. So, a few points for those who attempt to ridicule the Nats for having worse fans than the Phillies:
1. The Phillies have had 120-plus years to build their ****** little fanbase.
2. The Phillies have been a winning team for the past nine...

Player Profile #80: Jimmy Rollins | SS | PHI

February 05, 2012
Jimmy Rollins is a frustrating fantasy player. He scores enough runs, steals enough bases and hits enough homers to consistently rank as a fifth or sixth round fantasy talent, but his low average and injury woes make him a difficult player to draft. There’s a popular misconception that the Philadelphia offense is one of the best in baseball, but last season they ranked just...

Baseball in Canada has sure changed since my playing days in the late 90’s early 2000’s.
When I was trying to get a scholarship, I created my own VHS tapes, mailed them out to schools that my family, coaches and I deemed appropriate. I mailed those out with my baseball resume, hoping some college coaches would take some interest.
Nowadays, Canadian kids looking to...

According to sources, Ibanez is willing to take less to play for the Yankees than he could make elsewhere. The 39-year-old batted .245/.289/.419 with 20 home runs and 84 RBI in 144 games last season for the Phillies. Ibanez will fill the need for another bat to fill in as the part-time DH
