Paul Boye commented on the blog post Shane – Take a Pitch! 2 years, 2 months ago
Yep. I, for one, would definitely take Gardner over Victorino if we’re taking everything into consideration. Three years younger, cheaper, controlled for more years, better defensive instincts (I guarantee that if he played CF full-time he’d be an excellent defender), better plate discipline, better speed (though the difference isn’t great) and,…[Read more]

Paul Boye wrote a new blog post: Utley Receives Cortisone Shot; Panic Time? 2 years, 3 months ago
If you weren’t worried before about Chase Utley’s lingering patellar tendinitis, well, this may change your mind. Jim Salisbury of CSN Philly reports that Utley’s condition has not improved in the five days since its initial diagnosis, and the team has upped the ante, administering a cortisone shot to the ailing knee. Just like Brad Lidge, [...]

Paul Boye commented on the blog post Playing Devil’s Advocate: The Cliff Lee Deal 2 years, 3 months ago
I had originally agreed to do this post, but I’m glad Pat took it up instead after I dragged my feet on it for so long. Really, when you think about it, few upper-level free agent contracts really seem to be “worth it” for the duration. Maybe that’s my own subjectivity taking over, but signing [...]

Then what explains the diminished power on the outer half and the low slugging numbers pre-injury?

Paul Boye wrote a new blog post: Howard’s Power Revisited 2 years, 4 months ago
Matt Gelb of the Philadelphia Inquirer has an interesting post up today on his blog, wherein he drops some quotes from Ryan Howard on his perceived (or real) lack of power production in 2010.
“It’s funny to me because everyone talks about my power numbers,” Howard said. “‘Oh, Ryan, your power numbers were down.’ I think everybody forgot [...]

I have to admit, I’m very pleased with the level of discourse thus far. Good ideas being tossed around. Keep it up, dames and gents.

Paul Boye wrote a new blog post: Expectations for Cole’s Next Contract 2 years, 4 months ago
Cole Hamels enters the 2011 season as the youngest of the heralded Phillies starting rotation, having just turned 27 this past December. He’s already pitched four full seasons – plus the majority of a fifth – in the Major Leagues, and has established himself as a premier pitcher entering his prime. The problem that comes attached [...] -
Paul Boye wrote a new blog post: Top Moment #14: A Near-Perfect Pitchers’ Duel in Series of Walk-Offs 2 years, 4 months ago
Roy Halladay and Travis Wood each went nine innings, but neither pitched a complete game. Neither allowed a run, but neither recorded a win or loss. They combined to strike out 17 batters – and allow only six total hits – while Wood came within one Carlos Ruiz double (in the ninth, no less) of a [...] -
Paul Boye wrote a new blog post: Cole Hamels and Approach 2 years, 4 months ago
(Originally posted Tuesday, Jan. 25 at 4:05 pm.) Cole Hamels’s bouncing back from a rough 2009 was one of many welcomed surprises in 2010. While a few different things were to blame for Cole’s rough ’09 – be it his slow, injured start to the year or plain old bad luck at times – there seems [...] -

(Originally posted Jan 25 at 10:40 pm.) In case you missed it…. Furnished by MLB.com’s Jonathan Mayo, MLB.com’s Top 50 Prospects list features two Phillies farmhands this season. Top Philly prospect Domonic Brown comes in at No. 4 on Mayo’s list, behind the Angels’ Mike Trout, Rays’ Jeremy Hellickson and Nationals’ No. 1 pick Bryce [...] -
Paul Boye wrote a new blog post: Top Moment #17: Fair? Foul? Either way, a Win in Florida 2 years, 5 months ago
For eight innings, things were mostly uneventful on August 5. The Phillies were trailing the Marlins, 4-2, in South Florida, and the Phillies’ three-game winning streak was in some hot water. Roy Oswalt had a middling start turned into a deficit by J.C. Romero, while Chris Volstad and a pair of Marlins relievers held the [...]

This was a wild one. There’s really no better way to put it. It started out innocently enough, with the pesky Astros coming to town to pit Bud Norris against Cole Hamels. Cole entered the game looking to bounce back from a subpar start against the Giants in his last outing, and the Phillies were just [...]

I’m not sure why flagging the posts would give you a virus, I would investigate other causes.
And we’re trying to stay on top of the trackbacks as best we can. Thanks for pardoning our dust.

Paul Boye wrote a new blog post: Phillies, Francisco Agree to Deal, Avoid Arbitration 2 years, 5 months ago
The Phillies and outfielder Ben Francisco have agreed to a $1.175 million contract for the 2011 season, avoiding an arbitration hearing in the process. Francisco hit .268/.327/.441 in 197 PA in 2010, and has a .272/.323/.471 line in 301 Philly PA since coming over with Cliff Lee from the Indians in July 2009. He is arbitration-eligible [...] -
Paul Boye wrote a new blog post: Utley or Cano? 2 years, 5 months ago
Thursday, Bill Baer of Crashburn Alley responded to a quote from an article at Beyond the Box Score comparing Chase Utley and Robinson Cano, two of baseball’s elite second basemen. The BtB article’s conclusion straddled the fence rather nicely.
Robinson Cano is a very good player. Chase Utley is a very good player. If you want the [...]

Paul Boye commented on the blog post Year In Review: Roy Halladay 2 years, 5 months ago
I did consider giving him a 9.9 for a minute, but after looking at just how much he accomplished, really, a 10 was the only grade I could give. In spite of a couple rough starts, the rest was just so overwhelmingly awesome.

Following the failed signing of reliever Dennys Reyes, the Phillies have agreed to re-sign lefty J.C. Romero, according to CSN Philly . Romero, who made $4.5 million in 2010, is expected to take a significant paycut to rejoin the Phils. Signed during the 2007 season after being released by the Red Sox, Romero has compiled 123 strikeouts [...]
