Last night marked the first night Charlie had the entire line-up he planned on in the start of Spring Training. Delmon Young activated from the DL batted 5th and neatly hit a HR in his first AB as a Phillie.
Unfortunately Halladay got rocked with 2 run bombs before he gave way to Durbin who continued to fuel the Indians Line-up.
Not many positives going on in the Org right now with the exception of say Jesse Biddle and Maikel Franco but neither seem to figure in any kind of help for the big club this season. It's once been said that every team is going to win 60 and lose 60 which means its what you do with the remaining 42 Games that defines a season.
I heard Ruben interviewed on the Fanatic yesterday. I'll paraphrase his answer to the question who's fault is it when these young bullpen arms don't come up and get the job done "well I'll say it's the players fault" Ruben said. There is some truth to that for sure. After all these kids worked their whole lives to reach this level, when they get a shot they have to get the job done.
The GM, the Manager, the pitching coach, the minor league instructors cannot go out and throw the ball for them!
