Hunter Pence Player Projection No. 50
Key Stats: What a difference protection in the lineup makes... Pence was having a solid all-around year before a July trade freed him from the quad A squad in Houston. The power numbers were down slightly, only 11 HR's and a .163 ISO (his lowest ever) through 100 games with the Astros, but once he reached the city of Brotherly Love he was a new man, equaling his HR's to that...

Pierre, Pineiro Were Top-3 Minor League Signings
Juan Pierre was voted the second-best minor-league signing of the off-season by MLB Trade Rumors.The Phillies enter Spring Training with arguably more depth, both positionally and in the starting rotation, than any team in baseball. It doesn’t mean Ruben Amaro assembled the most talented bunch, pound for pound, but the Phils have enough quality bodies (really, Corey?) to push...

Clearwater Notes: Halladay & Snakes, Qualls in Camp
DOC IN THE AMAZONThe tall tale was just that. While in the Amazon over the winter, Roy Halladay and friends (including Chris Carpenter and B.J. Ryan) came across a local man whose boat had been overturned by a large snake – the mighty anaconda, to be specific.But the legend of Halladay wrestling the snake in the muddy waters of the rainforest was false. In fact, Halladay said...

Phillies P Halladay a hero even in the offseason
Roy Halladay tossed a perfect game and a postseason no-hitter, all in the same year. He also won a Cy Young Award in each league, has been to eight All-Star games, and is one of the best pitchers in baseball history.
Yet for all his accomplishments on the mound, Halladay finds himself talking more about snakes these days.
Who knew?
Despite being outpitched by his good buddy, Chris...

The dollars & sense of keeping Hamels
Cole Hamels said all the right things, and then some.
Does he long to return to the West Coast? Not necessarily.
Does he enjoy Phillies fans? Absolutely.
Would he take less money to stay in Philadelphia? Well, maybe.
That's right, Hamels did not rule out a hometown discount. He merely answered by saying that he wants to play for a winning team, and the Phillies are a winning...

Phillies give Kyle Kendrick two years, but why?
The Phillies gave starter Kyle Kendrick a two years, $7.5 million deal to buy out his next two arbitration years. Kendrick agreed to a one year, $3.585 million deal last month that would cover his 2012 season. He's not a particularly great pitcher, and I actually figured he'd be a nontender candidate in the coming offseason. So why did Phillies GM Ruben Amaro feel the need...

Roy Halladay showed up to Phillies camp in a sweet black hot rod (Picture)
You know that guy on the Dos Equis commercial? I’m starting to think he may not be the most interesting man in the world. Having a mother who has a tattoo that reads “Son” or being allowed to touch the art at a museum is pretty boss, but Roy Halladay may have him beat. The car you see above is what the Doc whipped to Phillies training camp over the weekend. Would you...

Phillies' Strange Love for Kyle Kendrick
Kyle Kendrick is a younger version of Tim Wakefield without the knuckleball. He can start, or he can pitch out of the bullpen. In either case, he rarely misses a bat, induces his fair share of ground balls and has a winning record to show for his five years pitching with the Philadelphia Phillies. But is he worth the $7.5 million the Phillies just decided to pay him for the next...

Phillies are 2012 favorites, even without Ryan Howard
Friends, fans, we embark on another baseball season, and once again, our Phillies are the odds-on favorites to win the World Series.
That is because Vegas can only use history, as can I.
I won’t have hands-on experience until the Phillies met the Pirates in Pittsburgh on opening day on April 5.
(More about that later.)
One Vegas house has the Phillies as 9/2 favorites, followed...

Phillies Waste More Money On KK
We went on a bender from roughly early October to a week ago here at the Blunt. We don’t know who won the World Series, so please never tell us. We’re back in baseball mode, though, so let’s get back to basics: making fun of Kyle Kendrick.
The Phillies avoided salary-abritration with Kendrick a month ago by coming to terms on a one-year contract for the 2012...

Jonathan Papelbon relishes the challenge of trying to help the Philadelphia Phillies win another World Series.
Baseball's highest-paid reliever is accustomed to lofty expectations after spending seven seasons with Boston and insists a change of scenery or the $50 million, four-year contract he signed this winter shouldn't make his job with his new team any more difficult...
