Around SBN: Jerry Sandusky's Wife Tries To Run A Reporter Over

Does Phillips have a shot?

I don't know what it is, but for some reason I'm starting to get the feeling that management may actually be thinking about keeping BP; this despite his recent history and that fact that Vazquez has a guaranteed MLB contract.  

I realize Vazquez hits left handed, has the better track record of semi-tolerable OBP stats, etc.  I guess I agree that he's the better backup; but I wonder if he's the better option if pressed into action for any extended period of time?  I don't know if management would re-think that the marginal sunk cost of losing Vazquez is worth keeping BP around or not.

Again, nothing at all to base this on.  They'll probably deal BP for a PTBNL tomorrow.

Re: Does Phillips have a shot?
My guess is that they are doing some showcasing of Phillips. The WBC helps out the tribe as Phillips can take Belliards at-bats.

We will find out shortly the big mystery of the spring.

Re: Does Phillips have a shot?
Phillips has been hitting the ball hard in the games I've seen him play this Spring.  If the Tribe does not place him on the team he'll very likely get traded before the beginning of the season.   No way can they let him go and not get anything in return.
