Minor Moves: Pirates Sign Hector Luna, Upper Level Promotions
A few minor league transactions this afternoon:

Placido Polanco Activated Off DL, Hector Luna Optioned To Triple-A
When Hector Luna was optioned to Triple-A Lehigh after yesterday's 8-0 win over the Brewers, we all knew that Placido Polanco would be back with the team tonight.
Today it was reported that Placido Polanco was activated from the DL after nearly a month's time spent with lower back inflammation. Polly will start third for the Phillies tonight in their home opener against...

Oh brother.
Phillies' OF Nate Schierholtz has been placed on the 15-day disabled list with a fractured right toe, according to the Phillies. Infielder Hector Luna has been recalled to take his spot on the roster.

Phillies Bullpen Taking Shape as Raul Valdes Returns; Hector Luna Back to AAA
The Phillies very serviceable lefty reliever Raul Valdes has been activated from the disabled list. To make room, Hector Luna heads back to AAA.
The Phillies bullpen seems to be taking shape. I would prefer Kendrick remain in the bullpen over B.J. Rosenberg, but for now the Phillies relief corps looks like this:
Jonathan Papelbon (CL)
Josh Lindblom (RH setup)
Antonio...
Philadelphia Phillies storyline: The other Phillies
Roy Halladay will be on the bump for the Philadelphia Phillies–but at what cost? What would the red pinstripes look like without those blockbuster deals? Did Rube Amaro barter away tomorrow’s champions?

I tweeted toward the end of the Phillies 9-2 victory in Wrigley Field last night that this was the kind of win where we would wake up the next morning and wonder aloud if the Phillies got their swagger back. For the first time all...
Phillies Shake Up the Roster; Promote Diekman and Luna
The Philadelphia Phillies made some roster moves today, in part due to injury, and to hopefully get stronger in the bullpen.
The public was tipped off to the moves by Michael Schwimer yesterday who tweeted congrats to the players coming up. Schwimer was sent down after Wednesday’s loss to the Mets.
The moves were necessitated because of an injury to Laynce Nix.
Nix was placed...
Luna Wins it vs Rays; Pierre Contract Picked Up
Juan Pierre is in.Let’s start with the big news: Juan Pierre is on the 40-man roster, officially, according to the Phillies (thanks to the beats down in Clearwater).Pierre being on the club does not preclude Scott Podsenik from being on the roster, as well. Phillies GM Benny Looper told us on 97.3 ESPN FM just minutes ago that both men could be on the team on opening day depending...

Hector Luna's RBI single in the 10th inning lifted the Philadelphia Phillies over a Toronto Blue Jays split squad 4-3 on Saturday.
