JOE SAVERY RUMORS & GOSSIP
Q&A: Joe Savery, story of the year?
Joe Savery might be the best story of the 2011 season. The 25-year-old Phillies left-hander saw his pitching career bottom out last year — his record in Triple-A Lehigh Valley was a dismal 1-12 — and when this season began he’d been converted to a position player. By mid-year it looked like a successful transition, as the former collegiate two-way player was hitting .307/.368...

Could Joe Savery Be the Left-Handed Relief Pitcher the Philadelphia Phillies Need?
You might recall the name Joe Savery from the article I wrote earlier this season, highlighting Savery’s career in which he was a first-round draft pick in ’07, reached Triple-A last year, but struggled so much that he switched to hitting and tried a comeback this year. He’s since reached Triple-A again, but he didn’t hit well in Double-A Reading and now has turned his focus...

The Strange Case of Former Philadelphia Phillies First Round Pick Joe Savery
In 2007, the Philadelphia Phillies selected Joe Savery with the 19th overall pick in the draft. Savery was a highly-touted left-handed pitcher out of Rice University who also did some damage with his bat.
Savery had originally been drafted by the Los Angeles Dodgers in the 15th round of the ’04 draft but chose not to sign. With the Phillies, Savery posted a 2-3 record to go with...

Savery May Not Last Long In Clearwater
You have to wonder if Joe Savery's first four seasons in the pros may have been a waste of time and effort. While the Phillies thought Savery showed promise as a pitcher, it's turning out that putting a bat in his hand was a much better idea.

Savery Wants To Leave No Questions
The Phillies are going to give pitcher Joe Savery a chance to get some at bats as a DH over the final ten days of the season. And as an additional reward, he'll head to the Florida Instructional League as a hitter. Even with all of that, Savery is still a pitcher; at least for now.

Slow and Easy Works Well For Savery
Left-hander Joe Savery has found one key to success; slow down. After a dismal 2008, Savery has risen to Triple-A Lehigh Valley and is taking things slower and easier as he gets closer to the majors.

Minor(s) Updates
Recently-promoted Joe Savery won his second start for Lehigh Valley (AAA), improving to 2-0, with a 2.45 ERA, at that level. Don't get overly excited by those gaudy stats. A Small Sample Size Alert is necessary when looking at any numbers, here, as the rest of the stats indicate that Savery hasn't been very effective. Savery has allowed ten hits and nine walks (five whiffs...
