Catching Up With The Phillies (Again)

The Phillies are now 16 games into Spring Training and sit just 15 days away from Opening Day in Washington on April 5th. After the first round of cuts that included stand-out prospect Domonic Brown, 30 players remain on the active roster. Five more will be cut before camp breaks. Unlike our first check in with the Phils, the starters are beginning to see a lot of playing time.

Offense

• 3B Placido Polanco (.346 AVG)
• 1B Ryan Howard (.333 AVG, 1 HR, 6 RBI)
• 2B Chase Utley (.333 AVG, 7 BB in 21 AB)

Pitching

• Joe Blanton (2-0)
• Danys Baez (1-0, 1 SV, 5 K in 8 IP)
• Roy Halladay (1-0, 0.90 ERA, 14 K in 10 IP)
• Cole Hamels (1-0, 1.69 ERA)
