Kyle Drabek pitched a strong 1-2-3 inning in today's Futures Game in St. Louis. Here he is in a recent outing at Reading. I've got to see him while I can.
The Phillies finished off the Pirates 5-2 behind a 1st-inning grand slam by Pedro Feliz and strong pitching by J.A. Happ. Trade rumors swirl around Happ and Drabek. Meanwhile, the Phillies have gone 9-1 on this homestand to bring their home record almost to the .500 mark. I'm drowning in deadlines and for once can hardly wait for the All-Star break.
