Is The Phillies Offense Good Enough?
For much of the past decade, the Philadelphia Phillies had one of the best offenses in baseball. But that was not the case last season, and the biggest question facing the Phillies this season is whether the offense rebounds, or continues a regression that could threaten to leave them on the outside of the postseason for the first time in six seasons.
Philadelphia’s offense began...

Spring Training Warmup Tonight @8pm

Matt Cerrone of Metsblog joins me to discuss Sandy Alderson’s debut on Twitter, the NYBD Mets Hall of Fame results, and the Mets handling of the media.
I will give you my thoughts on why trading A.J. Burnett just for salary relief isn’t a good idea.

Player Profile #57: Shane Victorino | OF | PHI
What happened to all those steals, Shane Victorino? After averaging 33 steals from 2007-2010, Victorino swiped just 19 bases in 2011, but his power was better than ever. Sure his 17 home runs weren’t a career high, but he played in 15 fewer games and his .212 ISO was 42 points higher than his previous career high. Whether the decrease in steals is a show of his age (31 in 2012...

Shane Victorino to appear in an episode of ‘Hawaii Five-0′
My only question is this: What took them so long? Shane Victorino and CBS’s Hawaii Five-0 had to run into each other eventually. Now that we are smack dab in the middle of the MLB offseason, it’s happening. According to theFive0s.com, the Flyin’ Hawaiian will be a guest star in the Feb. 20 episode of the show. Olympic speed skater Apolo Anton Ohno will be joining...

Player Profile #61: Desmond Jennings | OF | TB
Let’s start off with the good about Desmond Jennings. His 10 home runs and 20 steals in fewer than 250 at-bats are exactly the type of upside we expected from the youngster. With him leading off, we can easily see him scoring close to 100 runs with 20/40 potential. Now the bad. He needs to get his strikeouts under control (20.7 K%) in order to get his batting average up from...

Juan Pierre signs with Phils
The Phillies added depth to their outfield Friday, signing free agent Juan Pierre to a minor-league contract.
There is no obvious spot for Pierre with the Phillies, who plan to use Hunter Pence in right, Shane Victorino in center and a Laynce Nix/John Mayberry platoon in left.
But Pierre, 34, protects the team in the event of injury, though the team also can turn to one of its...

Shane Victorino Player Projection No. 82
Key Stats: Shane Victorino is one of only four outfielders in fantasy baseball to be ranked in the top 100 each of the last four seasons. The other players in this club are Ryan Braun, Matt Kemp, and Matt Holliday. Not bad company. Skeptics Say: Hopefully the .186 average in September is just a bad month and not a player getting worn down. Victorino will be 31 this season, so it...

Well isn't this cool.
Phillies' center fielder Shane Victorino will be appearing on an upcoming episode of the CBS series Hawaii Five-O. Victorino is from Hawaii, so it is only natural that the Flyin' Hawaiian gets in on one of the hottest shows on television. There is no word on what role Victorino will play, nor when the episode will air.
