on martinez and taylor

Jim Salisbury has a fascinating, in-depth article in this morning's Philadelphia Inquirer about how Pedro Martinez ended up joining the Phillies. It's called The making of a Phillie.

Also this morning, Mike Drago has an excellent piece in the Reading Eagle, about Michael Taylor and his place in Reading Phillies' history. Drago compares him with other club hitting greats, such as Greg Luzinski, Pat Burrell, Ryan Howard, and Scott Rolen. Another good read, it's called In only a few months, Taylor leaves mark on Reading.
