Well it looks like some of the key parts to both World Series runs have found new homes this offseason. After Chris Coste went to the Mets, Pedro Feliz to Houston, and Scott Eyre retired, the Phillies saw two more guys leave for not-so-greener pastures. Brett Myers just signed with the Houston Astros today, another former Phillie Ed Wade … Continue reading Former Phils on the Move
Scott Eyre retired today. After being let go by the Phillies, he decided to call it quits after 13 years in the majors. He finished his career 28-30 with a 4.23 ERA in 617 appearances with the Chicago White Sox, Toronto Blue Jays, San Francisco Giants, Chicago Cubs and Phillies. He went 2-1 with a 1.50 ERA … Continue reading Eyre Retires
Danys Baez is a physical away from being a Phillie, according to Todd Zolecki. And according to Dave Murphy, it’s a two-year, $5.25 million deal. Like I said in the other post, this is a good move for the Phillies, who were in need of a veteran reliever. He was 4-6 last year with … Continue reading Phillies sign Baez
Bozied and Baez: sounds like a bad comedy routine from the 50’s. Well this duo is Tagg Bozied, a firt baseman, and Danys Baez, a reliever. Reports all over Twitter have said the Phillies signed the Bozied, a once highly regarded prospect with the Padres who suffered a torn tendon in his knee. He was in the Pirates’ Triple-A club last season where he … Continue reading Bozied and Baez
Some of this is a little old and that’s mainly due to my lack of time and each thing not being worth its own post. First off is yesterday’s news which has two items. First is the fact that the Phillies are no closer to signing Chan Ho Park or Scott Eyre. Ruben Amaro on … Continue reading Off Season News 12/9
Player: Scott Eyre Number: 47 Position: RP Bats/Throws: L/L Consistency: Eyre was easily one of the Phillies best relievers this year. After a terrible April where he compiled a 10.80 ERA in eight appearances, he settled down to be the Phillies most dominant lefty. After April, his last 26 appearances only saw him giving up … Continue reading PRC: Scott Eyre
Player: Sergio EscalonaNumber: 53Position: RPBats/Throws: L/L Consistency: Escalona only saw action in 14 games. He was mainly used as a fill-in when players like Scott Eyre and Brad Lidge went down with injuries. He also replaced Kyle Kendrick when he proved to be useless in the beginning of the season. In his short stints up, … Continue reading PRC: Sergio Escalona
Our friendly Phillies writer for MLB.com, Todd Zolecki, has tweeted a few more updates on a few more players that are free agents. The Phillies have contacted Chan Ho Park’s agent about being re-signed. He was one of their best relievers this year and I fully support this move. Scott Eyre also verbally commented that … Continue reading More On Eligible Phillies
Vengeance: as cold as the Rocky Mountains. The Phillies showed why they are the best come-from-behind team in the majors last night in their 5-4 win over the Rockies, lifting them into an NLCS rematch versus the Los Angeles Dodgers. Cliff Lee was once again stellar in his second start in the playoffs, going 7.1 … Continue reading 9th Inning Heroics Send Phils to NLCS
