I'm glad that they moved Happ from the pen, the kid has a future as a solid starter. One tangible that can't be overlooked is that we have Jaime Moyer showing these kids the ropes, on and off the field. That seems to be an immeasurable advantage. They seemed to show that on the nationally televised games this weekend. Moyer was in the dugout explaining certain pitches and grips it looked like.


Ibanez looks like the STEAL of the offseason, and is playing lights out. Can you imagine how heralded this guy will be if he continues playing at a torrid pace like he is? The guy will have the key to the city dipped in gold if he keeps it up. The whole city loves him already. (but we all know how things can change in that aspect. )

We could use another righty... but it all depends on what deal we can make.. we finally have tons of talent in the minors and it is just not worth giving up some young guns for a righty.

Blanton seems to be getting his stuff together again, Moyer pitched real good the other night, but ya never know with his age.

We dont need to get a top pitcher in the league, if we can figure out a deal where we dont have to give up much... and can get a solid #3 or #4 guy in the rotation that would be okay.


and RAUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUL is awesome so far!! He seems to LOVE playing for Philly too... says he's never seen a team like this, even if we're down 7 going into the 9th we dont give up!
