Poll Closed:
Who is the most valuable Phillie?
Ryan Howard - 0
Chase Utley - 8
Jimmy Rollins - 1
Cliff Lee - 0
Antonio Bastardo - 5
Not a big surprise. That Bastardo was so high as he is pretty much the best player ever. But seriously, Utley is one of the best players in this league and is clearly the most popular player in the city. There is no question that Utley is the best second baseman in the league today. If he wasn't before, the World Series definitely clinched that thought.
It is good to see that Cliff Lee didn't receive any votes because he is now taking a physical in Seattle.

Poll Closed: 5th Rotation Spot
The 5th rotation spot poll is complete and Jamie Moyer predictably won with Drabek coming in a close second.
Jamie Moyer - 5
Kyle Kendrick - 2
Andrew Carpenter - 2
Kyle Drabek - 4
Pedro Martinez - 0
Other - 2
Jamie was hospitalized recently due to ailments related to his groin surgery and will undergoe minor knee surgery next month. Based on these events, Jamie Moyer will not be able to return by the beginning of spring training. Due to this it is rumored that the Phillies may pursue a cheap starting option such as John Smoltz.
I personally don't understand these rumors because nothing makes sense about it. I just hope that the Phillies organization has a strong legal team as Smoltz will be taking legal action against the leftfield wall more times than Ryan Howard strikes out in a season. It also can't be overlooked that the Phillies are trying to add players that can compete at a higher level than Adam Eaton. Unfortunately, team Smoltz has decided to put themselves in the Adam Eaton league of pitchers after not retiring 3 years and 5 surgeries ago.
If the Phillies do not make any moves in regards to their starting rotation, Kyle Kendrick should find himself pitching every 5th day in Philadelphia. Well, at least until the Phillies feel Moyer is healthy or Drabek is developed enough.
