tell me the difference between woodward and olmedo

Honestly? Veteranosity.

Although I think Woodward did put up halfway decent numbers when he was starting for Toronto.

Great question. The Phils are collecting utility infielders who can't hit. Who knows why.

K/BB ratio in the minors is solid. Hits per innings pitched a bit high, but not terrible.

On the plus side, we may have a reliever who can pinch-hit, going by his offensive numbers at Princeton.

He hit 13 homers in his steroid year in 2002 w/TOR

He was originally drafted by Minnesota in 2004 as a catcher and was converted to a pitcher after that season. Last year between double-A New Britain and triple-A Rochester, Lahey went 8-4 with 14 saves and a 3.65 ERA in 52 games. He will wear #33.

looks like (i cheated) he's a natural shortstop, but has played every position but 1 and 2

Which is why I said "when he was starting for Toronto."

1. Lahey was the #1 pick in the Rule 5 draft this year. I assume we are taking him subject to those restrictions. (2 years out of the last 3 we've ended up with the Top Pick in the Rule 5 draft - Castro 2005, Lahey 2007).

2. Love the fact that both Snelling and Real Deal got through waivers. Lehigh Valley is almost to the point of interesting me. Rotation could include Benson, Blackley, Durbin, Happ, Youman. I'd rather follow Gookie Dawkins than Ray Olmedo though. Don't see the point of Woodward and would like to see the Phillies release another 5-10 of AAA/AA minor leaguers rather than do anymore pushdowns.

3. When Lidge is ready to be activated, just release Helms.

SQUIRE

Minor league WHIP of 1.44. I have no idea who this person is. I also haven't figured out how to translate the bot. Is this person on the 40 man? Likely to be on the 25 man?

He's on the 25 man roster as of right now...
