By Anthony Caruso III The Capital Sports Report Owner/Managing Editor/Sr. Writer New Philadelphia Phillies third baseman Michael Young is listed as a candidate to play on the Mexico team in the World Baseball Classic. Michael Young Young has not said he would play in the upcoming 2013 WBC. But he is eligible to play for Mexico, because his mother is of Mexican descent. In addition, he would have a better chance of cracking the Mexico team than the lineup for Team USA. The Philadelphia Phillies, who have traded for Young in the off-season, may object to Young playing, but that is not confirmed yet.

Steer Completely Clear of Vernon Wells

Via Phillies Nation  |  December 26, 2012
The Phillies filled their centerfield void by acquiring Ben Revere, bolstered the bullpen with Mike Adams and shored up the rotation with the cost-effective and underrated John Lannan. While these moves likely represent the bulk of their offseason activity, the Phillies have been linked to a wide array of corner outfielders given the obvious uncertainties in those posts. They...

Replaced by a Franchise Hero: Don Money

Via Phillies Nation  |  December 26, 2012
A lot of the Phillies’ offseason discussion has boiled down to one question: how does Player X compare to Player Y, whom he is replacing? It is a valid and particularly useful tool when projecting wins and predicting improvement for a club. The Phillies have a particularly strong cannon of historically popular players that most of the city’s fans rally around. This cannon definitively...

Does Kubel Fit the Phillies?

Via Phillies Nation  |  December 25, 2012
The Diamondbacks signed Cody Ross to a three-year, $26 million deal over the weekend, giving them five starting outfielders for just three spots. With Adam Eaton set to start in centerfield and both Kubel and Ross signed to free agent deals, the Diamondbacks are more likely to trade one of their outfielders than use expensive platoons. Gerardo Parra‘s name was frequently mentioned...

Reconsidering Michael Bourn

Via Phillies Nation  |  December 27, 2012
The Phillies made something of an effort to sign B.J. Upton and pushed hard for Angel Pagan before trading Vance Worley and Trevor May to the Twins for Ben Revere. The move gave them a young, cost-controlled centerfielder who plays excellent defense and offers top-notch baserunning. He probably isn’t a finished product yet either, which lends credence to the belief that he...

Top Moment #2: Jim Thome’s Walk-off

Via Phillies Nation  |  December 27, 2012
The Tampa Bay Rays were in town on June 23 for an interleague series with the Phillies.  The ending to the game would go down as the arguably the most memorable finish to a Phillies game in 2012. The Phillies had a comfortable 6-4 lead heading into the top of the ninth inning.  With Jonathan Papelbon on the mound, there was plenty of confidence that the Phillies would get the victory...
