Phillies Top 10 Stories of 2009: No. 9 -- Chase Utley is Boring

New_york_yankees_741f
The 2009 Phillies got some marvelous production out of their lineup once again -- Ryan Howard, Jayson Werth, and Raul Ibanez come to mind.  But once again, the best of the bunch was second baseman Chase Utley.  For the fourth season in a row, Utley finished second in...

Phillies Rumors: Phils Serious About Figgins?

Mlb__jun_f09c
I've been harping for the last couple weeks about what an asset Chone Figgins (and his .393 OBP) would be at the top of our line-up. It also happens that he plays a tremendous 3rd base, a position we coincidently have open. I felt he was the perfect fit, but didn't really...
