What is Sardines doing on this club? Drop him and bring up the KRATZ!!!!

Also regarding Lopes. I like him but the Phils were a really good base stealing team before he got to Philly. I think he helped Victorino a lot. But the Phils somehow had learned about the goodness of high base stealing percentages despite being old school and not understanding the new metrics and all that jive.

Didn't expect to see Yimmy until midweek. I guess its a good surprise. We'll get pop ups instead of ground outs.
This is a simple game. You throw the ball, you hit the ball, you catch the ball.

Just for fun, I went and looked up the Phils' players +/- ratings from Dewan:

Howard; -7; 32nd

Valdez; -11

Rollins; -10; 35th

Polanco; -2; 13th

Ibanez; -3; 32nd

Victoringo; +2; 20th

Mayberry (CF); +5

BenFran; +5; 7th

It must be too early for these stats to be right. Just look funny. I think our extreme pitching staff -- high Ks; might have an effect on these ratings. Also, I believe the impression that we've had from watching the games of the opposition getting more than their share of babip bloobs and infield singles and stuff may be true.

Defensive stats are kinda goofy anyway.

My sister's friend started up a new company and being a Phils fan the initial offerings are heavy on Phillies content (so far I only see Phils, Red Sox , Yankees and Tim Lincecum).

It's all geared towards little kids. If you ever wanted a Ryan Howard hand puppet now's your chance.
