Chase Utley: What Would the 2012 Phillies Record Be?
Bill James, who is considered the father of modern baseball statistics and coined the term “sabermetrics” once said, “Do we need to have 280 brands of breakfast cereal? No, probably not. But we have them for a reason - because some people like them. It's the same with baseball statistics.” I have recently taken a keen interest in Bill James and the art of statistical...

The Phillies are very content with Freddy Galvis and their future at second base.

What Should the Philadelphia Phillies Do With Freddy Galvis When Chase Utley Returns?
Chase Utley is getting closer and closer to setting his foot on the field, which means the Philadelphia Phillies have a decision to make when he does return.
