By Michael Lipinski, Sports Talk Philly Editor The Philadelphia Phillies have placed starting pitcher Zach Eflin on the 15-day injured list with a brusied right knee.

Michael Young and Roy Halladay are no longer the oldest players on this team. This afternoon the Phillies acquired 38 year-old infielder John McDonald from the Cleveland Indians. Yes…38 year-old infielder from the Indians. In a deal that will send cash and a player to be named later to Cleveland, the Phillies have gained depth […]
Ender Inciarte's career as a Phillie lasted just one day. This afternoon the Phillies designated the 22-year-old Inciarte for assignment after claiming OF Ezequial Carrera off of waivers from Cleveland. Inciarte managed to beat out Darin Ruf for the final outfielder's spot just last week after a good spring. The Phillies selected Inciarte from the […]

Posted by Frank Klose No… this can't be right, is it? Todd Zolecki reports that former Phillies 1B Jim Thome has signed a one-year contract to play for the Phillies. Wow. You can buy a brand new Jim Thome Jersey here. Thome probably can't play first base for the injured Ryan Howard, but he can […]
Posted by Frank Klose According to today's Philadephia Inquirer, the Phillies went 49-19 in their final 60 games. I thought the Phillies were just so good that they won eight of their losses. But, it turns out the Phillies were 41-19 in their final 60 games. That's pretty good, I guess. The Phillies entered play […]
Posted by Frank Klose Courtesy theclevelandfan.com Nice piece on mlb.com by Zack Meisel today about Carlos Carrasco and Lou Marson, one-time Phillies prospects who were traded to Cleveland in 2009 for Cliff Lee.
