Philadelphia Phillies: Left-Handed Relief Pitcher Jake Diekman is Here to Stay

Jake Diekman Could Signal A Bright Future for Phillies’ Bullpen

Jake Diekman was impressive in his Major League Debut as he picked up the win for the Phillies. Diekman could be a key piece for the future of the Phillies' bullpen. It was the same old story for Cliff Lee. Eight innings of one run baseball and this team still couldn’t get him the win. It seems as though this starting rotation is completely snakebitten and unable to get...

Diekman thrown into fire, puts it out

Jake Diekman's official welcome to the major leagues came not with a velvet glove and cushy lead. It didn't even take place with the ease that comes with a game where the results have pretty much been determined. No, the Phillies' left-handed reliever's debut was the biggest blowtorch position that a young pitcher could possibly face on Tuesday against the Houston...

Philadelphia Phillies storyline: trade debate

Jake Diekman of the Philadelphia Phillies will probably join the team on Friday, like Michael Stutes did in 2011. He is the best in stats of all the internal help until the deadline for deals, but this deficiency won’t be a July problem. There are 2 other southpaws at Triple-A Lehigh Valley as possibilities.

Diekman Cut, Lidge Promoted

CutsThe Phils sent Brian Sanches, Scott Elarton and lefty reliever Jake Diekman down to the farm.The first two guys I could give two shakes about, because I don't follow the FeHams closely and we are unlikely to see them in Philly anytime soon. Diekman, on the other hand, might be back in town sooner rather than later. As meaningless as Spring Training stats are, Diekman still...

Prospect Nation 2012: #18 LHP Jake Diekman

The 6-foot-4-inch 190-pounder was fresh off a dismal effort in the Arizona Fall League, over the off-season, when a revised focus and some simple adjustments to his loosening efforts breathed new life into the young hurler’s pro career.After struggling in the Arizona Fall League in 2010, when he allowed...
