Jimmy Rollins' question + Philadelphia Flyers' NHL Lockout List

Headline Topic: Phillies - Jimmy Rollins

2000 hits is a big deal and Rollins mark is worth noting.

Despite varied opinion about this player, he's a great glove man and has obviously produced offensively in his career. At this stage of his game, I would move him to the sixth hole in the order heading into the 2013 season. A new leadoff man would allow Rollins' current offensive abilities to be better utilized lower in the lineup.

Philadelphia Phillies' 2013 Plans + Philadelphia Flyers' fans

Headline Topic: Phillies' 2013 Plans

What would you do to fill the Phillies three outfield holes?

I would use some combination of Mayberry, Nix, and Pierre (re-sign him for '13). Those players should help to fill, or at least offer platoon support at one outfield position.

I'm uncertain about Brown. His injury history makes me wonder how he can be expected to hold up for a full major league season.

At least two veterans must be obtained through free agency, or trades (a combination of both) to reset this team's outfield situation.

Philadelphia Phillies' Question + Philadelphia Flyers' fans

Headline Topic: Phillies

Which current Phillies do you think will/won't be back next season?

Consensus among the fans seems to be building that Jimmy Rollins 3-year contract might not be completed, or if it is, that he will certainly hit lower in the batting order through its fulfillment.

Juan Pierre is a nice veteran presence on this team. He plays the game the right way. There surely is one space on the roster and enough salary space available for his likely modest demands to keep one of the better small-ball players of this era around next season.

Philadelphia Phillies' Offseason Decisions

Headline Topic: Phillies

Among many offseason decisions, I want this team to get a new leadoff hitter via trade, through some internal promotion, or whatever.

I'm okay with keeping Rollins, because he can still pick it at shortstop. But, moving him to the sixth spot would make the best use of his hitting style. The man has pop, as evidenced by his 15 home runs.

This move didn't happen when the Phillies were winning, now that they won't make the playoffs this season, anyone who rules out this move is mistaken.

Philadelphia Phillies Prospect Darin Ruf Wins MVP and Sets Record

Phillies

Darin Ruf has made himself into a prospect at Double-A Reading this season. Winning the Eastern League MVP and breaking Ryan Howard's single-season home run record (by hitting 38 home runs this season) doesn't guarantee anything. But, all honest fans have to be rooting for him to play LF in Philadelphia in the relatively near future.

Flyers

What is the name of the Flyers ECHL affiliate?

For those who don't know, the answer is found in my Yahoo Sports article:
NHL lockout could serve some Philadelphia Flyers' Purposes

Eagles

All the best to Andy Reid and his team tonight. This season isn't just about football this year for the Eagles' head coach.

I wish him a SUPER BOWL year.

Sixers

The 76ers major summer trade should help the remaining members of last season's playoff group to become that much better.

This has become a far more balanced squad through all of the offseason moves. Most importantly, they will be led by Doug Collins who is ready to take his basketball team to new heights.

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.

Hockey

Here is a hockey story that all ice fans will like: The mystery behind these 1970s Topps hockey cards is revealed.

Chase Utley's Position Switch Potential

Phillies

The idea of moving Utley to third base is very intriguing.

Rollins likely wouldn't have agreed to do so. Galvis might be able to return to second base next spring, which would recreate the dynamic duo we saw earlier this year in the Phillies' middle infield.

I hope Chase can remain healthy, so that he can give this option a try. If anyone has the desire to make this work he can. Doing so might also allow his career in red pinstripes to extend beyond 2013.

Philadelphia Phillies' Minor League Sensation

Phillies

Reading Phillies converted left fielder Darin Ruf hit his 37th home run last night. That blast tied him with Ryan Howard for the R-Phils single-season home run record.

Ruf's summer story has been one of the high and hopeful points in the Phillies' organization this season.

Baseball is about hopes for many. My family, friends, and I are enjoying his great ride and wish him all the best along the way.
