Phillies

If Polanco is fully healthy his presence will be valuable once again this season.

Keep an eye on Victorino's numbers in the leadoff spot, as compared to any other lineup slot that he is placed into.

Hamels has previously lost his mental focus in past seasons. He needs to pitch with a winning record in order to not allow the pressure of his contractual walk-year build.

Baseball cards

For those of us who are old enough to remember when baseball cards were king
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.

Phillies

Is Antonio Bastardo healthy?

Will Placido Polanco be close to the player he once was at the plate and in the field?

Will Ruben Amaro, Jr., regret any moves he did/didn't make in the offseason?

A big Phillies free agent acquisition in the near future?

TY to over ---940,000 people---who have read my Yahoo Sports, News and Voices articles this year. http://contributor.yahoo.com/user/977720/sean_obrien.html


Phillies - 

The MLB network is reporting that the Phillies are interested in Cubs free agent third baseman Aramis Ramirez.

This player has the offensive resume to make a difference in the Phillies lineup. Yes, he isn't a great defensive player. But, his right-handed stick would beef up the middle of the order for sure.

When Polanco is healthy enough to play, he could be kept as a super-sub.

The ongoing Rollins' negotiations will affect, but not stop this from happening if it's meant to.

Placido Polanco's Gold Glove & Flyers shuffle off to Buffalo

TY to over ---830,000 readers--- of my Yahoo Sports, Interview and News articles since 2/1/11.http://contributor.yahoo.com/user/977720/sean_obrien.html


Phillies - 


Placido Polanco's Gold Glove award came as somewhat of a surprise. It's not because he isn't thought of as a great defender. Instead, it's because his injury-marred season was the top 'Polly' story this season. 


With one year left on his contract, it will be interesting to see how the Phillies handle their third base slot in 2012.


Flyers -

The Flyers trip to Buffalo might be an interesting early season test.

The Sabres have one of the better defenses in the NHL, while the Flyers are one of the League's top scoring franchises.

The orange and black need to settle into a smoother flow of play if they hope to win consistently. Facing a team that plays good defense might force them to do that tonight.

Phillies player health news - Hamels and Polanco


TY to over 610,000 readers of my Yahoo Sports articles since 2/1/11. http://contributor.yahoo.com/user/977720/sean_obrien.html

Phillies - 


Placido Polanco is not expected to have surgery for a sports hernia, according to GM Ruben Amaro, Jr. These types of injuries don't seem to go away. So, it will be interesting to see how effective Polanco is for the remainder of the season and if he can hold up.

Cole Hamels  will miss his next start start due to a slightly strained shoulder. Hopefully this is not serious, as the team needs him fully healthy if it hopes to win the World Series.
