I’ve been busy with work for school so I haven’t been able to update this in a little while but I’m going to catch you up on the last 5 days.

The Phillies went 2-3 in the past 5 days down in Florida. Beating Tampa Bay yesterday and Atlanta today. Solid play so far by Raul Ibanez and also a pleasant surprise in John Mayberry Jr.

To the delight of many Phils fans Adam Eaton was released on Friday. He was also picked up by the O’ s today and signed to a minor league deal worth $400,000.

The Race for 5th starter is still up in the air. Carrasco and Happ and solid outings this week. Kendrick also had a solid outing despite giving up a home run. Park threw a perfect 4th inning in today’s game.

Also, the battle for 2nd base is heating up. Jason Donald has flashed the leather a few times this week while Marcus Giles had a great day at the plate today in the win against Atlanta.

Not only will Pat Burrell be honored at the on deck series on April 3rd but he will also be at the ring ceremony. Phillies have a day game that day while the Rays have a night game in Boston. Pat will be at the ceremony then jump on a plane right back to Boston.

That’s all I have for now. Should be another big week for the Phils. I have another week packed with school work so I may not be able to update again until Thursday.
