Phillies Top Five pitching concerns as pitchers and catchers report

By Joe Vallee at 1:15 am on Wednesday February 17, 2010

The Philadelphia Phillies have now had two consecutive shortened off seasons. And while the previous season ended better than last, they're coming back to do it all over again. This time, they have some unfinished business. And it begins today with the arrival of pitchers and catchers. Roy Halladay, the Phillies biggest Christmas present, is already there. Rumor has it that Cole Hamels is there as well.

Phillies will never play the role of favorites, but are still a force to be reckoned with.

Yes, in a way I am still scratching my head at the Cliff Lee trade. Yes, I am wondering why in the world they would bring back Brandon Duckworth (even though it WAS a minor league contract).

Are Ruben Amaro and the Phillies adopting the Eagles' policy?

If I were Phillies GM Ruben Amaro, my off-season goal would consist of one thing only: to improve your team to beat the New York Yankees in

Top Five Philadelphia Athletes traded away in their prime

By Joe Vallee at 9:37 am on Saturday December 19, 2009

In a town known for sometimes holding on to their star athletes for too long, there have also been occurrences when Philadelphia sports teams part company with players when their value is quite high. Some trades were completely unexpected. Some were long overdue, and some were simply a matter of time before they actually happened. Off the top of my head, no Flyers or Eagles really came to mind. So feel free to debate, and in the meantime, stay inside!! 5. Moses Malone

With Roy Halladay officially joining the Phillies, the trade could have plusses and minuses

So I’ve waited the past few days as all the details were sorted out.

Halladay to the Phillies? Cliff Lee to the Mariners? Kyle Drabek to the Blue Jays? Confused?

By Joe Vallee at 3:00 am on Tuesday December 15, 2009

As I left my two hour meeting yesterday afternoon, I noticed I had a vast array of text messages and about 5 new voicemails on my cell phone. I NEVER get this much attention, and the second I heard the screaming rant on the other end I got the feeling that something major was happening in the Philadelphia Phillies camp.

From Roy Halladay, to McNabb and Andy Reid- Five Philly Sports topics that just won't die

By Joe Vallee at 3:21 pm on Saturday December 12, 2009

Are you getting sick and tired of hearing about the same nonsense day after day on local sports radio about what our sports teams should or shouldn't be doing to improve their team? Some of these topics need to be addressed, so it's really nobody's fault in particular. They make for good conversation and at times even spark a little controversy. Unfortunately, many of them have been rehashed over and over for years and even decades. Some are more recent, but nonetheless still sound like a broken record.

Placido Polanco returns to the Phillies, but was it the right choice?

Placido Polanco is back.

Phillies moving on without Pedro Feliz

By Joe Vallee at 8:59 pm on Sunday November 8, 2009

Pedro Feliz solidified what was arguably the best infield in baseball when the Philadelphia Phillies signed him in the Winter of 2008. His offense and defense blew away the production of the Phillies' previous third base occupants Wes Helms and Abraham Nunez. On Sunday, the Phillies announced they were declining the $5.5 million option year on Feliz for 2010, thus "unofficially" officially ending his career in Philadelphia.

Phillies can't go from champs to chokers

Can you imagine the possible headlines the morning after baseball's regular season comes to a close next week: "WORLD CHAMPS to WORLD CHUMPS" Yes, bad thoughts always seem to creep back into the minds of Philadelphia Phillies fans right around this time of the year when the team appears poised to make another post season.
