Blogging about the 5x NL East Champion Phillies
Player: Greg Dobbs Number: 19 Position: 1B, 3B, OF Bats/Throws: L/R Consistency: After batting .301 last year and having one of the best pinch hitting years ever, Dobbs’ 2009 season took a complete 180. After having a terrible start, he heated up in June and July, batting .318, but slowly went back to his early-season … Continue reading PRC: Greg Dobbs
Player: Miguel Cairo Number: 9 Position: SS Bats/Throws: R/R Consistency: Cairo had a Jekyll and Hyde like year. He started out the season so bad that he got waived, wasn’t picked up, and sent to the Phillies AAA team in May. Then he came back up in August and played really well, batting .370 in … Continue reading PRC: Miguel Cairo
Player: Eric Bruntlett Number: 4 Position: Utility Bats/Throws: R/R Consistency: This is how good Bruntlett was: he batted .400 in August and his next highest total was .222, which came in only nine AB’s in October and was the only other time he batted over .200 in a month. He just was the most disappointing … Continue reading PRC: Eric Bruntlett
Player: Paul Bako Number: 23 Position: C Bats/Throws: L/R Consistency: Bako joined the team in June after Chris Coste got put on waivers and picked up by Houston. Bako was alright as a back-up. He had a real strong end of the season which could help him get picked up by a different team. Regular … Continue reading PRC: Paul Bako
Player: Tyler Walker Number: 52 Position: RP Bats/Throws: R/R Consistency: Walker was a late addition to the bull pen. He was signed in early April and joined the team in June and stayed there for the remainder of the season. Walker had a weird year. In his 32 appearances, he only allowed a run in seven … Continue reading PRC: Tyler Walker
Player: Jack Taschner Number: 57 Position: RP Bats/Throws: L/L Consistency: Taschner was acquired in a trade that had them send Ronny Paulino to the Giants before the regular season. Tasch had a rough March/April and an even rougher June where his ERA’s were over 5.00 and 10.00 respectively. He was designated for assignment in July … Continue reading PRC: Jack Taschner
Player: J.C. Romero Number: 16 Position: RP Bats/Throws: S/L Consistency: There wasn’t a large enough sample size to go with here. After missing the first 50 games of the season with his substance abuse suspension, he only pitched in 21 games before being hurt. He pitched in June and July and had one appearance in … Continue reading PRC: J.C. Romero
Player: Chan Ho Park Number: 61 Position: SP/RP Bats/Throws: R/R Consistency: Park only made seven starts and had one good one. After beating out J.A. Happ for the fifth spot in the rotation, he coughed it up quick, proving he was not a good starter. But that doesn’t mean he wasn’t valuable to the team. … Continue reading PRC: Chan Ho Park
Player: Brett Myers Number: 39 Position: SP/RP Bats/Throws: R/R Consistency: This was Myers last season as a Phillie and it didn’t go as well as he wanted it to. After starting the season in the rotation, it all went down hill when he injured his hip in May and needed to have surgery. He came … Continue reading PRC: Brett Myers
Player: Jamie Moyer Number: 50 Position: SP/RP Bats/Throws: L/L Consistency: Moyer was not the same pitcher he was in 2008. He was shaky all season and somehow got the wins because the offense showed up every time he pitched. In fact, of his 25 starts, he pitched seven full innings only four times and averaged … Continue reading PRC: Jamie Moyer
