PHILLIES RUMORS & GOSSIP
Nationals Fans > Phillies Fans
The headline is a bit overblown, I’ll admit, but the blowback from the Nats’ “Take Back the Park” campaign is annoying. So, a few points for those who attempt to ridicule the Nats for having worse fans than the Phillies:
1. The Phillies have had 120-plus years to build their ****** little fanbase.
2. The Phillies have been a winning team for the past nine...

NL East: A Fascinating Place: Phillies
The East division of the National League is starting to look a lot like the American League version. There are the obvious contenders, the interesting teams who have greatly improved themselves and one really bad club. And with an extra wild card spot now up for grabs, the division will prove even more interesting. The Miami Marlins have a new stadium, a new manager and new fire...

Prospect Nation 2012: #16 2B Cesar Hernandez
Cesar Hernandez is a Venezuelan born infielder that was signed as an amateur free agent by the Phillies at the age of 16. Since then, Hernandez has proven to be sharp on defense with some outstanding speed on the bases and a productive bat. As the 5-foot-10-inch 160-pounder has shown in recent years, he’s deserving of considerable recognition as a rising infielder in the...

Phillies Nation TV Announces Partnership with Service Electric in Allentown
It started as a seed in the soil. Two seasons ago, I asked Brian Michael to put up the money for an HD Flip Cam. I though nightly/weekly reports from Citizens Bank Park would show that we were THE insider blog. The “Phillies Nation Phancast” was done from time to time (when I could find someone to hold a camera for me) and wasn’t the greatest production in the world...

Player Profile #77: Chase Utley | 2B | PHI
It was just two short years ago that Chase Utley hit 31 homers, scored 112 runs, drove in 93 and stole 23 bases on his way to a 12th overall ranking. Now Utley ranks all the way down at 77, a ranking that feels more generous than anything else. Injuries have cost him significant portions of the last two seasons, and his hitting skills have seemingly eroded with time. Last season...

Philadelphia Phillies Storyline: Pitching Puzzle
How do the 2012 Philadelphia Phillies and Roy Halladay measure up to the ace-laden trios in baseball history? Up until now, this span-of-time issue has stymied everybody, but–unlike Joe Lewis versus Muhammad Ali–baseball statistics are plus-and-minus flexible. With a compensating system, you can minimize the differences from the dead-ball era to the current day, including...

Cliff Lee and Fastball Velocity
Cliff Lee certainly was worth his newly-earned free agent salary last season for the Philadelphia Phillies. Lee kept his end of the bargain for the "dream" rotation that nearly overcame some of his team's offensive deficiencies but fell short of their World Series goal. Lee and Halladay in particular have become as automatic a value package as you can find anywhere. According to...

Player Profile #80: Jimmy Rollins | SS | PHI
Jimmy Rollins is a frustrating fantasy player. He scores enough runs, steals enough bases and hits enough homers to consistently rank as a fifth or sixth round fantasy talent, but his low average and injury woes make him a difficult player to draft. There’s a popular misconception that the Philadelphia offense is one of the best in baseball, but last season they ranked just...

Phillies Fans: Get Excited About Chad Qualls
The signing of Chad Qualls means the Phillies are staring down the barrell of a loaded Luxury Tax gun. Photo: APThe signing of Chad Qualls wasn’t one of the bargain basement signings like Juan Pierre or Joel Pineiro where a Phillies fan can argue if it doesn’t work out, we can stash the journeyman 33 year-old reliever in Triple-A. Instead, the signing of Qualls for $1.15 million...

Phils Sign Qualls To Unnecessary Deal
The Phillies signed reliever Chad Qualls to a one year deal worth $1.15 million on Tuesday. The move is likely their last of the offseason as the major league roster is close to filled and the team is right up against the luxury tax threshold. While one year deals almost always benefit the team, and while $1.15 million isn’t exactly a king’s ransom, the deal doesn’...

Chad Qualls Added To Phillies Bullpen
With Jose Contreras' health in question, Amaro saw a need for a veteran arm in the bullpen. A bullpen that is built with youth aside from Papelbon needs someone capable of taking the ball on regular basis. Chad Qualls is that man, he is one of the most durable relievers in the game and certainly fills the "veteran" role. The Phillies signed him yesterday.The Stats:33...
