The Phillies signed 28 year old Kevin Frandsen to a minor league contract. Frandsen will report to AAA Lehigh Valley. Frandsen is another super sub in the system. He can play all infield positions and the corner outfield positions. Between Frandsen, Orr, Barfield, and Young, the IronPigs probably have one of the most versatile teams in the minors. A deal between Frandsen and Arizona fell thru prior to signing with the Phillies.

Chase Utley spoke with reporters today before the final Grapefruit League game in Florida. He touched on his progress, saying that he is taking light grounders, but not running. The Phillies are going to take plenty of time with this one. Different reports have Utley’s return ranging from the end of May thru the All Star Break. If the Phillies know either way by the end of July, things will be handled appropriately.

I can’t believe that we are down to just 4 days until Opening Day. It seems like it is a lot further away. I guess it is just the anticipation. The Phillies rolled on the Braves yesterday 6-1 at the Happiest Place on Earth. I wonder if the player’s get to visit the parks after the game is over? Anyway, I think today is a good day to do a little news and notes edition of countdown. (more…)
On the most recent edition of Phillies focus, a graphic was shown displaying what the Phillies starters have done in their first outings of the season.
It’s interesting to note that Hamels has the worst winning percentage, but the best ERA in the group.
