Will Phillies Make Necessary Changes?
John Mayberry Jr. is struggling in the early going. (MLB)Maybe you’re with me in that you keep telling yourself “it’s early.” Well, that’s true, but it doesn’t make this awful-tasting pill any easier to swallow.What we’re presently seeing from the Phillies is just bad baseball – there is no way to sugarcoat that.

2012 Fantasy Baseball, Advanced Metrics Simplified: Getting to know wRC+
John Mayberry Ever been annoyed by the fact that WAR takes into account defense? For fantasy purposes, the defensive component messes up that stat. It would be nice if there was some sort of oWAR where only the number of wins above replacement a player provided with his bat was calculated.

Can the “fans” get off Phillies’ John Mayberry
A Philadelphia fan site of Facebook asked “Did We Expect Too Much out of John Mayberry?”
Come on.
Give the guy a break.
He is not Juan Pierre, Scott Podsednik or even Domonic Brown.
Yeah, I said it, Domonic Brown.
Brown, with a chance to make the big league squad with a good spring, only has 10 at bats and is hitting .200.

John Mayberry, Jr: Where Does the Philadelphia Phillies Outfielder Fit Into the Team’s Plans for the Future?
Two years ago, John Mayberry, Jr. got the call up to the major leagues. He showed an incredible amount of raw home run potential but also looked vastly overmatched. He played sparingly in the 2009 and 2010 seasons, but broke out as a fourth outfielder and platoon player in 2011.
Mayberry posted a .273/.341/.513 statline with 15 home runs and 49 RBIs in 296 plate appearances. His...

2012 Fantasy Baseball Projections: John Mayberry Jr.
SAFE: Charlie Manuel can slide Mayberry Jr. into the lineup in left field or first base.
The Philadelphia Phillies have been courting Minnesota outfielder Michael Cuddyer for a few months now. In fact, one of the “jobs” for new Phillies first baseman-pinch hitter Jim Thome was to help sell Philadelphia to Cuddyer.
