Jamie Moyer pitches tonight as the Phillies face the Yankees in Tampa. Not exactly a dream match-up. Front-office rumblings, though, indicate that no matter how Moyer does, he's got the 5th spot in the rotation. Makes sense, of course, when you think about that $8 million he's owed this year. If Kyle Kendrick turns into this year's J.A. Happ, we'll be happy.
Brett Myers and Pedro Feliz were among several ex-Phillies in Clearwater yesterday when the Phillies hosted the Astros. As usual, Myers was boisterous and knuckleheaded (and I mean that well) and Feliz, quiet and laidback (except when jumping at the first pitch). Both were key contributors and should always be welcomed back to Philadelphia.
It's official: Jason Heyward, 20-year-old Braves' phenom, will make the jump to the bigs this spring. Look out, NL East! The kid's got it together.
