2006 Philles Season Thread

Yeah, I thought Howard did that on his own. I remember people used to scream for Thome to do that just to get a runner on when they put on the shift.

As for Victorino, yes he was a Rule V guy and yes we don't know what he is all about as a FTP yet.

But if his good defense and speed on the bases are his best assets and he can hit .270ish I would have no problem with him being in LF as long as they address other areas. If they get a real C and 3B and a RH bat to play RF in place of Bobby A, then I give Vic the job. He bats 8th.

Myers takes personal leave of absence ala Tim Worrell

A guy on the Phils MB mentioned this earlier today. Good to see him taking time to get things right. Or as right as he canb get them right now. He needs counseling (anger management).

Bring up Gio Gonzalez.

Let him take his lumps and be ready for next year.

The Phils' official statement:

The Phillies have agreed to Brett Myers' request for time off to concentrate on personal matters associated with his arrest in Boston last week. He is expected to be off for two and one-half weeks, through the All Star Break, until July 14. The Phillies have made available appropriate, professional, employee assistance resources to help Brett and Kim Myers in these circumstances.

After last Friday, the Phillies did not comment further on the events surrounding the arrest of Brett Myers out of respect for the Myers' privacy and because there is a criminal prosecution pending. Likewise, the Phillies did not summarily suspend Brett Myers immediately upon his arrest, prior to any judicial determination of guilt or complete evaluation of the entire matter. Such a decision, unfortunately, has been portrayed or interpreted as the Phillies indifference to problems of spousal abuse. Nothing could be further from the truth. We abhor such violence and recognize that it is a very serious problem affecting a substantial number of victims, particularly women, across the country.

If we have been guilty of delay in expressing these sentiments, we are sorry. We have been engaged in a difficult balancing of concerns for the rights of our employee, the presumption of innocence, the rights of his spouse, and the legitimate public concern about allegations of spousal abuse by a Phillies ballplayer. We believe that the present status, including a public apology by Brett Myers, time off from baseball, professional assistance for Brett and Kim Myers, and this statement achieves the appropriate balance for now.
