Theoretically, Hillenbrand would be an upgrade over the Miguel Cairo/ Josh Phelps experiment, however the 31-year-old veteran has seen his playing time decrease in Anaheim this season with the emergence of the Angels' Casey Kotchman. Shea is batting .246 with three homers and 18...

Like Mary J. Blige belted- No More Drama, because there won't be much drama in the Phils camp this spring as most position battles are already determined, unless you think Andy Tracy has a chance of dethroning Ryan Howard of course. The outfield is set, the infiend is set, 4/5...
Johnson’s Strikeouts Not Enough

Josh Johnson lasts just five innings despite striking out ten batters. He gives up seven hits including an RBI double to the ageless (and generally punchless) Miguel Cairo. Those seven hits came on just twelve balls in play and produced four runs.

The Worst bench in major league baseball of course. The Yanks bench is arguably the worst in all of baseball lead by shining star Will Nieves and his .111 average and .111 sluggin percentage, ya he doesn't have an extra base hit yet. Here's a breakdown of just how bad the yanks bench is.
A tale of two games, Phillies split double header with Marlins, 9-3, 0-3
Joe Blanton was on the mark and the Phillies offense delivered in game one, but the bats went silent in game two and failed to bail out Jamie Moyer. The Phillies took game one by a score of 9-3 and fell to the Marlins 3-0 in game two.Game OneThe Phillies certainly got things started...
Phillies Call up Carpenter
With JA Happ pitching a couple of much needed quality innings in last night's 12 inning marathon, the Phillies had to call up Andrew Carpenter to start tonight's second game of the double header.To make room on the active roster the Phillies have designated Miguel Cairo for...

Thanks to an extra-inning affair last night, J.A. Happ was not able to make his scheduled spot start today. As a result, the Phillies had to make room for someone else to make the start, so they cut utilityman Miguel Cairo and called up Andrew Carpenter from AAA Lehigh Valley.

Acquiring Figgins and Molina would fill two huge holes on the Yankee bench. Miguel Cairo and Wil Nieves have given Joe Torre zero reason to pencil them in the lineup on anything more than an emergency-basis. Adding two serviceable bench players would allow the manager the luxury of...

A veteran of 13 seasons, the 34-year-old hit .249/.316/.330 (75 OPS+) with Seattle last season, seeing limited action at multiple positions. He will battle for a spot on the bench and serve as added insurance at second and third. Beerleaguer: Cairo essentially does what Eric Bruntlett...
