Phillies Links For You: February 26, 2010


Our first "spring" link dump, yay!

G-20 Summit could conflict with Phillies-Blue Jays series at the end of June
An older story, but I'm sure Bud Selig would be more than happy to volunteer Miller Park for one or more of these games...

Phils like Aumont's potential as pitcher
Between this and Kevin Goldstein's evaluation, I'm feeling better about Phillippe Aumont.

Phillies Notes: For Phillies' hitters, a hello to arms
Roy Halladay vs. Phillies Lineup = end of humanity?

Lee left mark in stint with Phillies
He still seems like such a sad boy.

Bobby Cox, In His Final Season, Needs to Put It All On The Line
Tons of extra whining about the dimensions of Citizens Bank Park this season.

Star-divide

Moyer practices; Lidge still limited
The 47 year old is making you look bad, Brad.

Phillies glad to be back? Photo day shots sure don't show it - Big League Stew
INTENSITY.

The Phillies, The Big Red Machine, and All Time Great Teams | The Perpetual Post
Okay, it's a nice piece, but why spend so much time debunking an argument that no one has really tried to make?

Phillies prospect Brown getting education in spring training | Philadelphia Daily News | 02/26/2010
Domonic Brown gets the full-on media treatment. No pressure, kid.

Oakland pitcher Bailey remains a Philly fan
Andrew Bailey to Phillies? Yes please.

Phillies' Zagurski looking for a chance | Philadelphia Inquirer | 02/26/2010
I am pleased to note that Mike Zagurski still resembles an enormous toddler.

Bill Conlin: Phillies getting on track at swing training | Philadelphia Daily News | 02/26/2010
I just don't know.

New dad Jonathan Broxton is in a state of bliss - latimes.com
Should have named the kid "Matthew Moonshot."

Moving experience for former Phillies' prospect Taylor, now with Oakland | Philadelphia Daily News | 02/26/2010
I am psyched for Michael Taylor and I hope he does well (the Athletics are my favorite American League team).

as great as Howard is, I really don’t mind this. it will give us the financial flexibility to sign werth, and maybe someone of the Adam Dunn ilk and keep chase at second, or slide chase over to first, polanco back at second and a player to be named later at 3rd.

Could we get decent prospects for him, with teams knowing he’s making $20M a year and may not re-sign long term? Besides the Boston and the Yanks who else would be interested?

Chase Utley is so good that on one pitch he stole second, third and the shortstop's hat.

The Marniers, that is if they make a serious bid at dethroning the Angels or win the wild card this year and see Howard as the " final piece to the WS puzzle" in 2011. And you never know what Kenny Williams will do.

I see Seattle as easily taking the West, the Angels lost way too much. but do the mariners/white sox have the prospects and the money to cover a pro-rated $20M Howard contract?

or a full $20M offseason trade.

who’s going to get rbi’s on the mariners? they have no power.

by packimop on Mar 2, 2010 2:51 PM EST up reply actions  

Hence their interest in Howard. They always been somewhat RBI challenged. You’d think they might bring in the fences a bit. Supposedly Beltre was known more for lots of great warning track let downs than HRs.

i dunno just throwing it out there but Seattle has a decent market and might have the need. They haven’t been afraid too spend before. And the White Sox was more sarcasm than anything else.

by j reed on Mar 2, 2010 2:58 PM EST up reply actions  

As with all trades, it depends on what we’d get back. Heck, it would make sense to trade Utley or Halladay too if we got enough in return.

ummm…Andrew Bailey..Oaklandey….ummm

whoo hoo! Linkys! Time to melt, snow!

Werth sort of looks like Kurt Rambis in that shot.

from the Bleacher Report dumbassery
I’m a purist by nature. I don’t believe in UZR or sabermetrics or money ball. I most assuredly don’t believe in pitch counts and the reason is simple: I grew up watching Maddux, Glavine, Smoltz, Nolan Ryan, Pedro, and a host of other pitchers in their prime. If these young guns are better, stop babying them.

Right, because there’s nothing unusual about five Hall of Fame pitchers.
