Remember the Geoff Baker Rigidity Awards ? If not, they were a short series of posts I wrote last spring in the wake of the Jerod Morris/Raul Ibanez steroid dustup. You know, the one in which a blogger said that it was possible, based on a statistical pattern, that Raul used PEDs and then every mainstream writer came out of the woodwork to attack said blogger for being irresponsible? Following all...

It was a day that no Phillies fan will soon forget. Just hours before the Phillies were set to play the role of visitor for the home opener of the Washington Nationals, the legendary voice of the team, Harry Kalas , passed away as he prepared for the afternoon game's broadcast. Who else would be fitting to start the game on the mound than Jamie Moyer . Moyer had grown up watching Phillies baseball...

by Knox Bardeen Filed under: Phillies , NL East Footprints in the Snow is FanHouse's look at the paths to be forged by MLB teams this winter as they look ahead to 2010. Philadelphia Phillies general manager Ruben Amaro made it a point not to bring back the exact same lineup in 2009 after winning the World Series in 2008. He succeeded in that goal by replacing the departed Pat Burrell with Raul Ibanez...

MLB.com thinks so. That the Phillies want him and that he'd be interested in the Phillies are the easy part. What the article doesn't ask or answer is "in what role?" The Phillies have been looking for a supersub who can play many positions and not cause a dropoff in production. They would love not to have their regulars play 155 games a year and give them more meaningful rest. That would...

Just as in year's past, I'm going to guess at who will win the major awards, and who should win the major awards. I think the writers are getting better at these awards, but there's still a long way to go. In any event, my picks: Who Should Win Who Will Win AL ROY Rick Porcello Andrew Bailey NL ROY J.A. Happ Chris Coghlan AL MOY Ron Gardenhire Joe Girardi NL MOY Jim Tracy Jim Tracy AL Cy Young Zack...

For those of you who are (justifiably) distrustful of the Bill James projections but still want to look at some numbers, the 2010 CHONE projections are live. For hitters, anyway. Here are the Mariners , here are the free agents, and here are the Yankees , in case looking at the Mariners didn't make you sad enough. The first thing you should do here - as one should do with pretty much any forecasting...

With the AL Gold Gloves announced on Tuesday, it's time to project the NL awards - especially since they will be announced today. I'll keep this simple. Based on UZR/150, here are the best defenders at their positions for 2009. All data is from Fangraphs.com. 1B - Derrek Lee , Cubs (4.7). AP was 5th with a 0.8. 2B - Chase Utley , Phillies (11.3). He was tied with Freddy Sanchez, but Sanchez only played...

NEW YORK – Yankees manager Joe Girardi benched slumping outfielder Nick Swisher for Game 2 of the World Series on Thursday night and again put Jose Molina behind the plate to catch A.J. Burnett. Philadelphia also had a different lineup. Raul Ibanez moved from designated hitter to left field and Matt Stairs was the DH. Jerry Hairston Jr. replaced Swisher in right and was batting seventh. Hairston is...

PHILADELPHIA – By the ninth inning, Phillies fans were preparing for the worst. The New York Yankees were at it again, chipping away at a dwindling lead and threatening to take away the Phils' World Series title right there at Citizens Bank Park. Desperate to hang on, somehow Chase Utley and the Phillies did. Derek Jeter grounded into a double play, Mark Teixeira struck out, and Philadelphia staved...
