Some breaking news coming down the Twitter line, via all the Phillies beat guys – Jamie Moyer has officially been named the 5th starter in the rotation by Charlie Manuel.
Kyle Kendrick, who started today against Houston and pitched just two frames, will head to the bullpen. Both men have pitched very well throughout this spring, but the 47-year-old Moyer will get the nod as the season begins in less than one week.
It’s likely at some point we will see Kendrick on the hill to start a game, however, the Phillies feel Moyer and his albatross of a contract deserve one more shot in 2010. Thoughts??

For judging pitchers, no. Cole was much more likely to be facing the other team’s ace.

I also read about Lidge’s elbow soreness popping up. It did reported that it was not in the area where he had surgery. But a cortisone injection never is a good thing, and this is worth watching. It will probably delay his return to the team for another week or two.

That is probably why the Phils were looking for low-cost types of starting/relief swingmen. Dana Evland, Boof Bonser, guys like that. Soemone who would probably end up in the pen but who has started in the past.

The Phillies just signed Josh Fogg and another pitcher not too long ago

Fogg and the other guy got minor league deals.
My question is this: both these guys are right handed, and with Bastardo pitching badly and Romero on the DL, why doesn’t the F.O sign some lefties?

Why doesn’t Amaro give Eyre a phonecall?
We really could use him right now…
