Holdzkom dropped; Phils Vs. Reds

The Phillies offered Lincoln Holdzkom back to the Red Sox, but the Sox rejected him, making him a free agent. This Spring, Holdzkom pitched 3.1 innings while giving up three hits and two runs. He walked four and struck out three.

The Phils can sign Holdzkom to a Minor League deal, if they so choose, and it wouldn’t be a bad idea. Pitching depth is never bad, especially in the Phillies’ case.

Game update: Reds lead 1-0 through 2 1/2. Scott Hairston hit a home run off Ryan Madson, who has also given up two other hits and a walk. He has struck out one. The Phils haven’t garnered a hit yet off Bronson Arroyo. Live box score.

Tim first found the Phillies as a little infant at Veteran’s Stadium, cheering on a Juan Samuel game-winning home run in his very first game. With the pinstripes in his blood, he witnessed Terry Mulholland’s 1990 no-hitter, “Steve Carlton Night” at the Vet, game three of the 1993 World Series, countless games during the charmed 2008 championship season and various road excursions. Since November 2007 Tim’s been writing about them daily at Phillies Nation, becoming one of the world’s most popular Phillies scribes. You can catch him on Twitter and Facebook, as well. When he’s not talking about the Phils he’s relaxing with a St. Bernardus ABT 12 or one of his many favored brews.
