I Hate To See Wilson Go- But That’s Phillywood

Phillies deal Valdez to Reds for lefty Horst

By Paul Hagen / MLB.com

The Phillies have addressed their need for left-handed depth in the bullpen by acquiring 26-year-old Jeremy Horst from the Cincinnati Reds for utility infielder Wilson Valdez.

Antonio Bastardo was the only dependable lefty reliever the Phils had in 2011. Philadelphia has since added veteran Dontrelle Willis as a free agent. Horst, who will be a Minor League invitee to Spring Training, and Joe Savery are also expected to compete for spots.

Dontrelle Willis

Wiilis

Horst made his Major League debut for the Reds last season and appeared in 12 games for Cincinnati with a 2.93 ERA. In 36 games at Triple-A Louisville, Horst had a 2.81 ERA and allowed 41 hits in 51 1/3 innings with 42 strikeouts and 14 walks. He held opponents to a .219 batting average.

Horst made six appearances of three innings or more for Louisville with an 0.83 ERA in those games.

English: Philadelphia Phillies minor leaguer J...

Joe Savery

Valdez had been a valuable and versatile backup for the Phillies over the past two seasons. As injuries forced Jimmy Rollins, Chase Utley and Placido Polanco from the lineup at various times over the past two years, Valdez started a total of 70 games at shortstop, 68 at second base and 28 at third.

His most memorable Phils moment, however, may have occurred in the early morning hours of May 26, 2011, when he came in to pitch the top of the 19th inning against the Reds at Citizens Bank Park. Valdez retired the side without giving up a run and earned the win when Philadelphia scored in the bottom of the inning.

Valdez, 33, recently signed a one-year, $930,000 contract to avoid arbitration. In the past two years, Valdez batted .254 with a .300 on-base percentage in 210 games. He previously played for the White Sox, Mariners, Padres, Dodgers and Mets.

The most likely candidate to fill his role with the Phillies in the upcoming season is Michael Martinez, the former Rule 5 Draft choice, who not only played third, second and short last season, but also left and center field.

The Phils now have 38 players on their 40-man roster.

2012 NL East Preview: Fan’s Opinion

http://l.yimg.com/pb/webplayer/0.9.18/flash/swfproxy.swf2012 NL East Preview

By Andrew Mindzak

With 2011 now behind us, it’s time to look forward to the 2012 MLB season. Some teams have been busy this winter, but others have been rather quiet. Here is a list of what teams in the NL East need in order to contend in 2012.

If your outfield had Jayson Werth, Michael Morse,
and Bryce Harper, you’d be a contender too.
Andrew Mindzak
Gulf Coast League Phillies

Philadelphia Phillies - The Phillies had the best record in all of baseball during 2011 as they went 102-60 before getting knocked out by the eventual World Series Champion St. Louis Cardinals in the first round of the playoffs. Whatever you do, don’t blame their pitching for their early exit. Philadelphia posted a league best 3.02 team ERA, which is beyond ridiculous. Their pitching was decent enough to beat St. Louis, but their offense couldn’t come up with the clutch hits. The team hit .226 in the playoffs where players like Ryan Howard (.105 playoff average), Placido Polanco (.105), and normally clutch Carlos Ruiz (.059) came up short in October. Philadelphia did pick up closer Jonathan Papelbon, but I’m not sure how good of a move that was. If they can get a good outfield bat and figure out how to manufacture runs, they should be back in the World Series.

Atlanta Braves

Atlanta Braves - The Braves had a historic late season collapse and missed the playoffs on the last day of the season. Overall though, they had a good season and have a very promising future. The main question for Atlanta, as it has been in the past, well forever, is will they get that big bat for the middle of the lineup. Freddie Freeman had a great rookie year, Dan Uggla had a killer second half, and Brian McCann had a good year while Tim Hudson held down the starting rotation (and still remains to be one of the most underrated players in the game), but they still need another bat to produce offense.

Washington Nationals - The Nationals had a good season as they finished in third with a respectable 80-81 record. I fully expect Washington to contend for the wildcard in 2012 thanks to their pitching. After acquiring Gio Gonzalez from the Oakland Athletics, they have a formidable rotation with a healthy Stephen Strasburg, John Lannan, and Jordan Zimmermann. Their bullpen is set with Tyler Clippard and Drew Storen on the back end. With a healthy Ryan Zimmerman and Adam LaRoche, they should put up runs, and aren’t you interested to see how Bryce Harper will do this year?

New York Mets - Surprisingly they will actually field a team this year. Unfortunately for them, David Wright can’t play all nine positions. If this team even sniffs .500, I will be majorly surprised. Jason Bay has been a joke since coming over as a free agent and it would be a treat for New York if he can even earn half of his salary.

Miami Marlins - What an offseason for the Marlins. New name, new stadium, new uniforms, new manager, new starting pitcher, new shortstop, and new closer. Did I miss anything? Oh yea, they are still the Marlins. If Jose Reyes AND Hanley Ramirez can stay healthy, this team can be scary, but I wouldn’t bet the farm on that. Mike Stanton is a monster at the plate. As for their rotation, they will need Josh Johnson to stay off the DL, but besides him and Buehrle, no one scares me on their staff.
