Rise and Phight: 12/29/2021

Let’s just get right to it. You know we’re going to be talking about the lockout and possibilities with the Phillies and signings.

On to the links.

Phillies news:

• We’ve read over and over about Jimmy Rollins’ case for Cooperstown, but what about The Big Piece?

MLB news:

• If you’re looking for players for the team to add at certain positions, here are the top five guys at each position.
• Here’s a story about the stock photos MLB is using in place of the players on their online spaces.
• If you remember Ken Burns’ “Baseball” documentary, you’ll remember Bill Lee. He was my favorite part and unfortunately, there will never be another like him.
• Finally, let’s make sure this scumbag never sees a major league stadium again. Or a minor league stadium. Or a stadium overseas.
