[PhillyPhreak54]

Bowa is officially back as bench coach
Pete Mackanin is back as 3rd base coach
Steve Henderson is back as hitting coach
Wally Joyner will not be back as assistant hitting coach

The Phillies Way - recycling coaches and players forever.

When are they bringing Gene Mauch and Lee Elia back?

The Phillies have a variety of needs to address in the coming off-season, and numerous question marks. MLB.com's Todd Zolecki answered a few reader questions about the club's roster, and opined that it may be best served by not rolling the dice on a bounce back from Roy Halladay.
Though it remains hard to fault Philadelphia for failing to outbid the Nationals for Jayson Werth three years ago, the Phils have yet to find a long-term replacement in right field, notes Ryan Lawrence of the Philadelphia Daily News. Lawrence says the club could consider signing a center fielder such as Jacoby Ellsbury or Curtis Granderson, bumping Ben Revere to left in a platoon with Darin Ruf. Or, it might pursue a pure corner option like Shin-Soo Choo, or look further down the market at comeback hopefuls like Michael Morse and Corey Hart. But Lawrence opines that the switch-hitting Carlos Beltran could be the most attractive option, reasoning that the Phils may need to roll the dice that he will keep producing into and beyond his age-37 season.[\quote]

Lol @ even suggesting Beltran. 

[Don Ho]

Oh farg all this they might consider blah blah and they could go after blah blah shtein or should persue blah blah.  Hate when the writers start jerking off over who is on the market.  We've got a farging moron running this shtein show.  Nothing good is going to happen for as long as that dip shtein is in charge of "rebuilding"

[QB Eagles]

That's a pretty sweet list of outfielders if you like Rube's tactic of throwing large multiyear contracts at declining 35 year olds.
