My love of baseball in all its forms: the Phillies, fantasy baseball, the hot stove, the playoffs, the roar of the crowd, the trade rumors, the free agents, and of course... the peanuts.

Lack of Updates; Spring Training News!

Well, sorry for the lack of updates. Plain and simple, nothing the Phillies are doing is really inspiring me. I'm glad Rollins re-signed, though only for the short term. Perhaps that means it won't be another salary that the Phillies will be saddled with down the line. Polanco came to terms, and 4.6 million is a LOT for him. Jose Offerman is on the minor league team, and I hope to God that Shane Victorio beats him out.

And... that's it. Now, it's a waiting game for Spring Training, which I'm excited to announce I'll be at! Yes, that's right, for my bachelor party, my buddies and I are heading to Florida for a weekend to catch some baseballs and ball games. I'll be the one in the powderblue 1970's Phillies jersey.

As if I needed more false hope...

From Ken Rosenthal of the Sporting News...

"What would A's general manager Billy Beane be worth as a free agent? The answer might come if Lewis Wolff purchases the club. Beane, signed through 2008, can opt out of his contract if the team changes owners. Wolff almost certainly would want Beane to stay, but the Nationals could pursue Beane once their new owner is in place. Two highly regarded former general managers, Pat Gillick and Gerry Hunsicker, also are available. The Phillies' Ed Wade could be the next G.M. in trouble."
