First game of spring! Check out Bucs Dugout for more coverage. How to watch/listen.

Bill Conlin's All-Time Phillies Punk Team. Some interesting selections on there...

Updates for Josh Outman and Adrian Cardenas, dealt to Oakland last summer for World Series slugging icon Joe Blanton...

Meanwhile, Blanton reminisces on his homer heroics. I was at that game and have never experienced a more joyful "What the hell just happened?!" sports moment in my life.

Harry Kalas set to return to the booth after medical procedure. Get well, Harry!

John Kruk slams the sport for ignoring cheaters. Um, that clubhouse in 1993...

Mike Schmidt is getting into Anthony Hewitt's business. This seemed to work so well for Pat Burrell.

The Fightins continues its Top 11 2008 Regular Season moments. Today: Number 10.

Should be interesting to see if Hewitt gets much game action in the week or so before minor-league camp opens. It seems like a stretch that he would open in Lakewood rather than extended, and I wouldn’t expect that to go real well if he does…

This is the sort of thing that probably requires deeper drilling than the daily beat guys can do comfortably, but I’d love to hear some insider’s thoughts on what if anything the Phils have learned from the development paths of previous “toolsheds,” most recently Golson, and how that might help them bring along not just Hewitt but Collier, Gose, Jiwan James and other raw athlete types now deep in the system.
