Report: Phils Interested In Kyle Snyder

The Boston Herald has reported the Phillies are interested in Red Sox pitcher Kyle Snyder. He was designated for assignment a few days ago.

Last season Snyder threw 54.1 innings for the Sox and went 2-3 with a 3.81 ERA. He walked 32 and struck out 41. For his career, he has a 5.57 ERA in 230.2 innings. He’s a sinkerball pitcher, which is always good for Citizens Bank Park, but his ratio isn’t hot. Another walk-heavy, five-inning battler on the ballot.

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.
