Lets take a look at the crop of youngsters expected to keep the recent winning ways of the Phils going... 1. Domonic Brown, OF - he's still developing...
The Blue Jays will look for quality over quantity if they deal Roy Halladay this winter, according to Joel Sherman of the New York Post. As one Blue Jays official says, the team will obtain two draft picks if they let Doc walk after 2010, so top young talent is a must in any trade. "We would rather have one above-average impact guy than eight ordinary guys," the official said. That's hardly...
There's a report in this morning's Philadelphia Inquirer that the Phillies are going to pursue Roy Halladay. Halladay, you'll recall, was the most sought after prize at last year's trade deadline. The Phillies,though, opted to spend less, trading a prospect of good but less-valued prospects to the Indians for Cliff Lee. That deal worked out pretty well for them. Now the report is that the Phillies...
Remember this guy? He's back in the rumor mill. AP Photo I don't expect anything to really come out of this, but with the baseball general managers meeting now in Chicago the rumors are once again stirring about the Phillies being a possible team in the front-running for Toronto Blue Jays ace pitcher Roy Halladay . If you recall the Blue Jays were shopping around their start pitcher during the season...
Despite Philadelphia GM Ruben Amaro, Jr. describing his needs this winter as "Third base, bullpen, bench," many people within baseball think the Phillies will make a run at Roy Halladay, reports Jim Salisbury of the Philadelphia Inquirer. Salisbury quotes a rival front office member as saying, "Philadelphia is into winning now, and Halladay fits that." Toronto's asking price this...

Here goes: 1. Did Cole Hamels Lose The Clubhouse with His Remarks in the World Series? Don't know how big an issue this is. Despite Charlie Manuel's closing of the ranks, I'm sure that Hamels did damage with his "I can't wait for this to be over" line. Baseball players are among the most competitive people on the planet, and I can't believe that guys who push themselves hard for a long haul...
By Chuck Finder | 4:47 p.m. In yet another edition of The Future Is Coming, The Future Is Coming, the franchise with the advanced-Class A champion in Lynchburg also has three of the Top 15 prospects in Class AA's Eastern League according to Baseball America today -- and Pedro Alvarez is No. 1. Look at it this way: The Pirates don't get many No. 1s, outside of the All-Time North American Record for...
BA lists 3 Phillies in FSL Top 20 This is what you might call back page news at the current time, but figured I'd pass it along nonetheless. Domonic Brown (#3), Kyle Drabek (#5), and Freddy Galvis (#19) represent the Phils in the Florida State League.
Kyle Drabek, RHP Born: 12/8/1987 in Victoria, Texas Height: 6’0” Weight: 185 Pitching prospects are always in high demand, and with Carlos Carrasco and Jason Knapp shipped out to Cleveland in July, the Phillies organization lacks some of the top-end depth that they would surely like to have. But while there may not be many on the farm with [...]

Almost literally. Imperfect Phillies lineup gets job done Manuel offered an example of a .300 hitter who scores only 50 to 60 runs with only 50 to 60 RBIs. "He hasn't...
Kyle Drabek already has several points of reference for Phillies fans, even though he's never pitched an inning above Double A. He's the son of former major league pitcher Doug Drabek. He was the Phillies first-round draft choice in 2006. He's the prospect that the organization wouldn't part with, even to get Roy Halladay at the trading deadline this year.
A few more evening links.... Bill Chastain of MLB.com writes that the arrival of Reid Brignac in Tampa Bay could lead to the Rays buying out Akinori Iwamura's option this offseason. The $4.25MM 2010 option can be bought out for $250k. Chastain suggests that the emergence of Ben Zobrist and the recent strong play of Brignac could make Iwamura expendable. Todd Zolecki of MLB.com passes on news of Phillies'...
