Let your mind race as to why he was pulled. He allowed a hit and a walk while striking out 4. Is he injured? Is a trade pending? If someone is in Clearwater, a check-in would be helpful.
Update –> I got word via email he left with a groin strain.
Hot or Not
The good, the bad, and the ugly from the 7/15–7/21 time period. Ramon Oviedo throwing seven no hit innings, leads the way with Julio Rodriguez two very strong starts not far behind. Jarred Cosart has been awful since the Futures Game, while Trevor May and Brody Colvin both got banged around this week as well. At the plate, Cameron Rupp continues swinging the hot stick and Harold Martinez has a very nice week. Freddy Galvis makes another appearance on the hot list, while Cody Overbeck and Kelly DUgan struggle. Continue reading Hot or Not

Phillies trade deadline primer
Its that time of year. With the July 31 non-waiver trade deadline fast approaching, lots of rumors will start popping up. You’re going to hear a lot of stuff that is true, isn’t true, is half true, and everything else on both sides of the spectrum. With 30 MLB teams all looking to improve their teams either for now or later, lots of rumors will swirl. The Phillies, especially recently, have been very active at this time of the year. Two years ago, we had Clifton Phifer Lee round 1. Last year, we stole Roy Oswalt away from Houston. Who will it be this year? That’s not my focus here. Instead, I wanted to talk about the Phillies prospects who will probably be mentioned in deals, look at which guys we should hold on to, which guys we should trade, and what is going to happen. Check below the fold for all of the specifics.
