This site’s dead, in case you haven’t noticed… Sorry. :(

I’ve moved on to other projects (Twitter, new blog), hopefully I don’t abandon those like I did here.

Plans for this site:

I plan on migrating all posts over to my new site (eventually; I’m busy, don’t judge)
Redirect phillies.tk to my new blog
Give philadelphiaphillies.wordpress.com over to anyone who wants it.

That’s right! If anybody out there in cyberspace wants to take over the philadelphiaphillies.wordpress.com domain when I am through with it, get in touch with me (email, twitter, comment on my new site). Just the name though… All of the posts, media, comments, and content will be mine and (hopefully) migrated elsewhere. In the mean time, I hope everyone had some fun times reading my nonsense, and hopefully I inspired you to write your own (for some reason).

Forever grateful,

Sean

This Week Is Special

Sean — Sun, 23 Nov 2008 16:31:43 +0000

It’s the one year anniversary of Phillies.tk. Starting Monday, we will bring out our top-rated posts, and make new ones, all while partying it up. Monday brings you top post #5, Tuesday (November 25th) is the site’s birthday, so Tuesday will bring an extra-special surprise, in addition to the fourth-highest post, Wednesday the third highest, Thursday the second, and then we’ll end the work week with the best-rated Phillies.tk post ever. I can hardly hold my excitement.

Greg Golson Traded

Scott Lauber breaking the news. It seems that new GM Ruben Amaro, Jr. is not afraid to make daring, original deals. The Phillies traded the double-A prospect to the Texas Rangers for power-hitting prospect John Mayberry, Jr. I think this deal adds another potential bat into the mix for left field, if Pat T. Bat leaves as a free agent. I like the deal. It’s basically a speed prospect-for-hitting prospect deal. Mayberry is primarily a left fielder, and split his time between AAA and AA, and I think he could make a fine replacement for Burrell in the 5-hole.

[Ed.'s Note: I'll get numbers up eventually (yeah right). I'm too tired right now, and NBC Thursday is on, as well as Dodgeball on FX.]

Oh Noez.

Second baseman Chase Utley is going to have hip surgery next week, which could put him out until May or June. Uh-oh. Third baseman Pedro Feliz is also going to be out (but only for 8-12 weeks from now), but won’t be as big of a hit as Utley.

Who’s going to replace Utley? Good question. My favorite option is farmhand Jason Donald. He’s currently focusing on third base in the Arizona Fall League, but a transition to second should be easier for him, compared to a move to third (from shortstop, of course). Another in-house option would be Tadahito Iguchi, providing he doesn’t bolt for free agency.

A current list of free agent second basemen can be found here. Some interesting names include: David Eckstein (played with the Jays and Diamondbacks last year), Ray Durham (who played with the Brewers), Type A Orlando Hudson (Diamondbacks), Marcus Giles (who last played for the Padres in 2007) and former Phillie pharmhand Nick Punto (Twins, primarily as a third baseman, though).
