Chris Carpenter Player Projection No. 103

Via Fantasy Baseball 365  |  January 01, 2012
Key Stats: Chris Carpenter may have seen his rank drop from 64 to 175 last season, but there’s plenty of reason to believe there’s still something left in the tank. Carpenter was in the bottom fourth of the league in terms of the run support that he received, so even with the loss of Albert Pujols it’s possible that Carpenter will receive better luck in terms of run support...

Looking Back At That Halladay Trade

Via Mets Merized Online  |  January 04, 2012
Anthony DiComo of MLB.com, posted his regular mailbag feature this week and I found this Q&A pretty interesting: I don’t want to be “that guy,” but am I the only fan ruing the day that the Mets did not pull the trigger on trading for Roy Halladay? There’s no doubt that Halladay is one of the top pitchers in the league. There’s just as little doubt...

Phillies Resolutions: Roy Halladay

Via NBC Philadelphia  |  January 02, 2012
Every day this month, we here at Philthy Stuff will be counting down the New Year's resolutions of each member on the Phillies, and what they can do to guide this team back to October. Next up, Roy Halladay. There is an old saying “What do you get for the many who has everything?,” which is usually reserved for birthday parties for oil magnates and Bruce Wayne. It...

Winter Classic - Pre-game Quick Notes

Via Kukla's Korner  |  January 02, 2012
It’s the first Monday of 2012, and all the talk around Philadelphia is the Bridgestone NHL Winter Classic. Not the mummers. Not (really) the eagles. Not the Phillies, unless if course they were talking about how Roy Halladay saved a man from an anaconda attack the other day. We’re set to begin in Philadelphia… Nope, Flyers hockey has completely has completely...

Top Moment #16: Let’s Go Eat

Via Phillies Nation  |  January 04, 2012
Several years ago at Veterans Stadium, a fan shouted “Everybody hits! Wahoo!”  That saying stuck.  Perhaps because the phrase was shouted every time the Phillies scored a run, but it stuck regardless.  Over time, new mottoes were created including those developed by players.Before the “Everybody hits!” era, Tug McGraw’s “Ya gotta believe”...

Explaining the Command Disconnect

Via Fangraphs  |  January 05, 2012
We only remember the most exciting plays. Diving catches, game-winning hits, high-pressure situations — these are the things that fill our memories and our imaginations. But baseball isn’t always exciting — often it’s far from it. I love baseball, but many of its events are boring. Headlines in the following morning never read, “Roy Halladay throws a...

Top 10 Starting Pitchers for 2012 Season

Via Fantasy Baseball Dugout  |  January 04, 2012
There are two schools of thought when it comes to fantasy baseball starting pitchers. The first states that you should grab some quality starters early in your draft (or use keeper spots for holding onto them). The second theory states that starting pitchers are way too inconsistent and therefore you should ignore pitchers until late in your draft. The best strategy probably lies...

Somehow, We Missed Carpenter's Anaconda Attack

Via Cardinals Diaspora  |  January 04, 2012
Forgive me, I've been a bit ill this week. I thought that you said Carpenter banged up his foot saving a man from an anaconda attack in the Amazon.Wait, what?Of course he did.I honestly can't believe that this site didn't post anything about this story until now. For this, I am truly sorry. It's one thing to not get you the adjusted VORP percentages for the AAA Redbirds...
