Juan Castro. If you didn't like Eric Bruntlett, and c'mon who the hell did?, you won't like Juan Castro. Castro is older, but is every bit as crappy of a utility infielder that Bruntlett was/is. He can't hit, but he's versatile...well la-de-fricken-da! A Swiss Army...

The Phillies management has plenty to do this offseason and they've already made a few decision. Brett Myers won't be back next season. Pedro Feliz could be back but not with his current contract. The Phils didn't pick up the option so he is now a free agent. I'm okay...

70% of the Phillies’ 2009 plate appearances were taken by the starting eight; only 14% were taken by bench players. With Matt Stairs and Eric Bruntlett gone, the Phillies now need to look for adequate bench players either from within or on the free agent market.
I’ve perused...

Eric Bruntlett had an historically amazing day. Not only did he see his batting average from .128 to .154 with a 3-5 day at the plate, he also committed an error in the 9th inning that put our shaky closer on thin ice, but redeemed himself with the 14th unassisted triple play in MLB...

Speed couldn't save Eric Bruntlett from his .171/.224/.238. The much-maligned utility infielder, who was in the middle of several big moments last postseason, will be left off the NLDS roster, according to various reports, which likely means veteran Miguel Cairo, who spent most...
