Phillies

The Phillies simply couldn't afford to keep Shane Victorino and Hunter Pence and thus they were both traded.

Both players had undisciplined plate approaches. Victorino was an outstanding center fielder with a great glove and a strong arm. It will be difficult to find a productive, durable, replacement for him.

Hopefully Domonic Brown can replace Pence in right (or maybe he shifts to left).

Amaro opened some payroll space and probably needs to go even further if he wants to come back strong next season. It will be interesting to see if 2013 is viewed as a transitional year, or one of true playoff hopes.



Flyers

Whether Jakub Voracek was going to be included in Paul Holmgren's follow-up deal to the Predators for any Shea Weber signing is irrelevant now.

What is relevant is that the Flyers have signed their nice RFA winger to a four-year deal today. It will be interesting to see how he plays with 'G' and 'Hartsy' on the top line.



Baseball cards

For those of us who are old enough to remember When Baseball Cards were King, the spring is always a special time of year.

Bygone days spent with elementary school days and family members opening packs of Topps cardboard gold never truly fade away.

Phillies

The Phillies decisions to move both Shane Victorino (Dodgers) and Hunter Pence (Giants) confirm that a full-throttle effort to begin a new era has begun.

While move dealing is yet to be done and some potentially dramatic moves could be made this offseason as well, make no mistake about the importance of this date in Phillies history.

Various pieces from the core of the Phillies team that won the 2008 World Series (Howard, Utley, Rollins, Ruiz and Hamels) are still in place at the present time. Blanton is rumored to be dealt soon and Kendrick is also still with the team.


Flyers

Sixers

The one-point loss to the Boston Celtics in Game 1 could have been a win, but you can't have everything.

It would be best to take Game 2 tomorrow, because it would seemly overly challenging to win four out of a possible five games from a good team like this one is.
Phillies

Juan Pierre has sold me on his continuing ability to get on base and generate runs. He should play in left
field the majority of the time and hit no lower than second in every game.

Carlos Ruiz is having a breakout year. I would like to see him hit cleanup for a few games to see how it goes. He's mentally strong enough to handle whatever the results of that experiment would be.

Pence just isn't cutting it in Howard's spot.

Flyers

Nice Game 1 win. Brodeur was better than Bryzgalov and that needs to change, starting in Game 2. Another win there, could ice the series even it stretches toward the Penguins range.

Phillies

As the fans await the return of Howard and Utley, this lineup will eek along.

It's amazing that Pence has seemed to conform to what the other hitters are doing, versus displaying plate behavior that was solid last season. Group think seems to be in force.


Baseball cards

For those of us who are old enough to remember When Baseball Cards were King, the spring is always a special time of year.

That time of year always included Topps newest edition of cards. Bygone days spent with elementary school days and family members opening packs of cardboard gold never truly fade away.

Filling The Philadelphia Phillies 2012 Easter Basket

Phillies

One way to fill this team's Easter basket would be by adding not one, but two, power threats to the lineup. It's possible that a current player may emerge to help Hunter Pence in this regard. But, an in-season trade might become necessary at some point if this doesn't happen.

The starting pitching basket is already filled, so there is no need to worry about that.

The bullpen has a closer with a strong career resume. So, all we need to do is hope that his supporting rabbits are ready to run during those middle innings.

When Baseball Cards were King this week is always a special time of year.

The opening of any new season was always previewed by Topps newest edition of cards. Bygone days spent with elementary school days and family members opening packs of cardboard gold never truly fade away.
