Chan Ho Park win the np. 5 spot
By Mike Gill
The Phillies have named their fifth starter and it will be Chan Ho Park. Park held of challenges from JA Happ, Kyle Kendrick and Carlos Carrasco to win the final spot in the Phillies rotation.
What does this mean for Happ, I figure he will head to the bullpen or even back to triple-A to work on starting pitching.

The Phillies have announced that they have released veteran outfielder Geoff Jenkins, which means one of two things.
1. Matt Stairs has won a spot on this team as the main right-handed bat off the bench.
2. They Phillies are trying to make a roster move to bring in a right-handed bat off the bench (Gary Sheffield?)
Jenkins seemed to become a popular guy as he settled into his role as a bench player, even coming up with a huge hit in the World Series clinching game and we will always remember him standing on the top step of the dugout in celebration.
My guess is Stairs stays and Cairo will be on the opening roster and it clears the way for Gary Majewski to make the opening day roster. What happens if Jason Werth gets hurt, I think this move shows that the Phillies are comfortable with John Mayberry Jr., and if Werth got hurt, I think they would go to him in right field.

Darin Gantt has made the argument the Philadelphia Eagles might be a likely landing spot for Julius Peppers of the Carolina Panthers in an article at heraldonline.com. His main arguments are the Eagles $30 million in cap space along with their affinity for big name pass rushing ends (Kearse, Douglas, Howard).
It’s always exciting to hear your team in the mix when it comes to a big time trade but I’m not sure this is in the Eagles best interest. DE is hardly a need position, Peppers has already stated he’d like to play in a 3-4, and I feel our plethora of picks could be dealt more wisely. As I’ve mentioned in the past I’d love to see a move up to the #6 spot, currently held by the Cincinnati Bengals, to grab Texas Tech stud receiver Michael Crabtree or a trade to land Kansas City’s TE Tony Gonzalez, who has recently reiterated his desire for a trade. Thoughts?
Would you work for this man?

Many of you saw the HBO Real Sports feature on Lenny Dykstra recently. If you were a Phillies fan you probably were awed by the fact that “nails” turned himself into such a affluent man. However, I had the chance to speak to a man who might dispute the fact that Dykstra is as well off as he makes it seem. Take a listen to this story and let me know if you still think Lenny is worth working for.
Listen to Kevin Tell Mike about working for Lenny Dykstra
This could be the most unbelievable story I have ever heard, I feel bad for the guy, he really didn’t see this coming. He thought he had a dream job, and it turned into a nightmare.

A source close to Pro Bowl tight end Tony Gonzalez told the Associated Press on Tuesday that he still would like to be traded if the right deal can be made. The unidentified source said “Tony is not demanding a trade. Tony cherishes the time he’s spent with the Chiefs and he loves the way he’s always been treated by the fans there. But he knows of some other teams that would be interested in him and if the right deal can be made, he wants it to be made.” Read the rest of this entry »
PCPSports recently talked to Scott Wright, president of www.draftcountdown.com, to talk about the Eagles draft.
PCPTake: As mentioned in the Leonard Weaver article, I agree with what Wright had to say and his mock draft. In his most recent mock draft, he has the Birds taking Brandon Pettigrew and 21 and Chris Wells at 28 (Though I am more of a Knowshon Moreno fan). Read the rest of this entry »
Leonard Weaver
PCPSports talked to the newest Eagle, fullback Leonard Weaver. Take a listen, we think you’re going to like Weaver right away.
PCPTake: I think the Eagles are setting themselves up to become more of a power running team. First, they sign Stacey Andrews, next they left Tra Thomas go via free agency. Thomas was a very good pass blocker, but he struggled with the power run blocking schemes. Now they bring in a fullback who can block and catch the ball.
So whats next? Read the rest of this entry »

OF John Mayberry Jr. was acquired from the Texas Rangers in a trade last November for OF prospect Greg Golson. The move was made in order to give the Phils some pop from the right side of the plate. Now, Mayberry has impressed the staff so much this spring that he may have forced himself out of that job! Mayberry Jr. has shown power to all fields and, in 53 at bats, is currently hitting .264 with 3 home runs and 2 stolen bases. Read the rest of this entry »
