HECTOR LUNA RUMORS & GOSSIP
Phillies again victim of home runs, poor offense in loss to Washington
The guys on WIP are right, the Phillies are getting hard to watch.
After going ahead early, 1-0 in the second on Hector Luna’s ground rule double, the Phillies did not score again until Eric Kratz got a solo home run in eighth inning.
It was a 5-2 Phillies’ loss.
Roy Halladay gave up home runs to Ian Desmond and Rick Ankiel.
Halladay gave up nine hits, five earned runs, one walk...

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?

The 2012 MLB season is nearing the quarter mark with teams about to play their 40th game within the next few days. There have been 39 Howards committed so far this year. That's an average of 1 per game, which computes to a pace for 162 Howards. This would shatter the previous season record of 112 Howards back in 2010.

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 season...

Hector Luna Launches Grand Slam in Phillies Debut; Phils Wreck Cubs, 9-2
Kyle Kendrick took the mound in Chicago tonight in place of Vance Worley, who was placed on the 15-day disabled list today with elbow soreness. This might sound like a trainwreck waiting to happen, but Kyle pitched surprisingly well considering he started on short notice.

Does Hector Luna Have a Chance to Make the Philadelphia Phillies 25-Man Roster?
Each year, a player seemingly comes out of nowhere and makes a strong push to make the official 25-man roster. Last year, Michael Martinez was that guy, and this year it may be Hector Luna.
The Philadelphia Phillies signed Luna to a minor league deal on December 21, and it wasn’t expected that he would make the 25-man roster, but now it appears as if Luna may actually have a chance...
