Kyle Kendrick in the dugout before last Tuesday's game in Oakland. The next night KK pitched a swell game against the A's, the only one that the Phillies managed to win. Watching all three games with my co-blogger was fun. Gotta say thanks to her husband for giving up his tix for the series and for making a super fava bean/corn/turkey bacon salad for us for one of the games.On the day that the Phillies signed 19-year-old shortstop Anthony Hewitt, their top draft pick, the big news turned out to be Brett Myers. He was optioned today to Lehigh Valley to get himself together, we hope, at the Triple A level. It's a stunning development. I give lots of credit to Myers, who could have rejected the move, for doing this. For whatever reason, his transition from closer to starter has been a disaster. Maybe at Triple-A he'll be able to work on his mechanics and regain his confidence. So, who pitches in Myers' spot on Thursday? Who takes his place in the rotation? Carlos Carrasco? J.A. Happ? Someone else?
