  5. phuturephillies Says:

    Anderson Garcia was designated for assignment to make room for Feliz.

  6. jamaal Says:

    2/16/08 Seattle claimed RHP Anderson Garcia off waivers from the Philadelphia Phillies.

  7. xfactor Says:

    Phillies grabbed utility infielder Ray Olmedo off waivers from the Blue Jays. P John Ennis removed from 40-man roster to make room for him according to several sources.

  8. xfactor Says:

    Olmedo was actually on the Buccos roster.

  9. jamaal Says:

    2/24/08 - The Phillies signed the following two pitchers from a tryout consisting of independent and former college players:

    Jared Locke - LHP
    Charles Vartanian - RHP

  10. jamaal Says:

    3/1/08 - John Ennis cleared waivers and agreed to a minor league contract w/ an invite to big kid camp.

  11. Ducky Says:

    Holdzkom was offered back to the Red Sox. He’s now in AAA for Boston.

  12. Brady Says:

    1B John Urick, is on the Reading Roster. In a good way, does anyone know why?

  13. philly jamaal Says:

    Urick was moved up to Reading to replace Juan Tejeda who was placed on the DL….I assue newly signed Mike Eylward will play 1B at Clearwater in the meantime.

  14. phuturephillies Says:

    Excellent work keeping the transactions up to date. Much much appreciated.

  15. PhillyFriar Says:

    That answers my question regarding Segovia. I have to assume he’ll pitch in relief in Reading, unless they want to bump Castro to AAA or Bouknight from the rotation entirely.

  16. Brady Says:

    Blaylock and Urick headed to Clearwater, Tejeda off the DL, Thomson to Lehigh Valley, Spidale to Reading.

  17. xfactor Says:

    The Phillies claimed infielder Oscar Robles off waivers from the Padres.

    Robles showed great bat control when he was with the Dodgers. I thought he’d be a MLB starter by now…I wonder what happened to him?

  18. phuturephillies Says:

    Hes really not very good. He should fit right in!

  19. NEPhilliesPhan Says:

    Great…another .200 hitter on the IronPigs.

    ~holds moment of silence for Pascucci who was apparently released~

  20. Jeff Crupper Says:

    Tyler Mach to XST from Lakewood? Does that mean he actually showed up, or that they just aren’t holding a roster spot for him at Lakewood any longer?

  21. philly jamaal Says:

    Not sure…but I’m guessing Mach and Freeman were simply removed from the Lakewood roster since the transactions were both posted at the same time.

  22. philly jamaal Says:

    Gookie Dawkins traded to CWS organization for infielder Mike Rouse…..the Phillies have major love for AAAA middle infielders

  23. phuturephillies Says:

    Wow. Thats……wow.

  24. phuturephillies Says:

    Also, do you have a link for that yet? Havent seen anything on the wire, not that even they would care

  25. Jeff Crupper Says:

    Rollins added to the Threshers roster today to play in tonight’s game vs the JUpiter Hammerheads…

  26. philly jamaal Says:

    I’ll post a link when I get home (since i can’t log in from work), but on Reading’s transaction page it stated that Gookie was traded to the CWS for a PTBNL however Mike Rouse (who was w/ Charlotte - CWS AAA team) is now listed on the Iron Pigs milb roster.

  27. phuturephillies Says:

    oh man. thats awesome. Thanks again for spotting that, it made my day.

  28. phuturephillies Says:

    It looks like Rouse has been taken off the IronPIgs roster

  29. NEPhilliesPhan Says:

    Phillies just traded for LHP Stephen Randolph, age 34 from Houston’s AAA club. He’s been alright this season but his walk rate is off the charts. The DN is calling him the new 2nd Lefty in the Pen which I suppose means Condrey is done for. What does this mean for the Castro/Outman moves to the Pen? We appear to have a plethora of 2nd LOOGYs now…

  30. phuturephillies Says:

    Well, this guy is 34 and hasnt done much of anything in the bigs, so i dont think hes going to hold back Outman or Castro

  31. NEPhilliesPhan Says:

    I agree…it just seems like a “blah” move that was pointless.
