That deal turned out to be huge for the Phillies in their pursuit to not just make the post-season, but to have success. http://phillies.scout.com/2/879890.html 2047 Chuck Hixson http://phillies.scout.com/2/879890.html Fri, 17 Jul 2009 22:27:00 GMT 1 309 Philadelphia phillies The Phillies are more than just the players on the field and the manager in the dugout. Part two of our look at the most influential people in Philadelphia baseball continues our countdown of the names you need to know. http://phillies.scout.com/2/813187.html 2047 Chuck Hixson http://phillies.scout.com/2/813187.html Tue, 18 Nov 2008 22:29:00 GMT 1 309 Philadelphia phillies In the end, the Phillies had to choose between Ruben Amaro, Jr. and Mike Arbuckle to follow Pat Gillick as the team's GM. The decision to go with Amaro, brings about the exit of Arbuckle from the Phillies organization. http://phillies.scout.com/2/807719.html 2047 Chuck Hixson http://phillies.scout.com/2/807719.html Mon, 03 Nov 2008 13:52:00 GMT 0 309 Philadelphia phillies All season, it's been thought that this would be Pat Gillick's final season as the Phillies GM. At 71, he had decided to retire following this season, but nothing seemed definite after the Phillies won the World Series. http://phillies.scout.com/2/806483.html 2047 Chuck Hixson http://phillies.scout.com/2/806483.html Thu, 30 Oct 2008 13:25:00 GMT 1 309 Philadelphia phillies The reinforcements have been summoned. The schedule is set. The team is healthy. The goal is clear. It is the month that every manager hopes for, every player plays for, every baseball phan prays for. A September pennant race. No more excuses, no more reasons for failure, nothing more to do but play it out and see who is left standing. The Philadelphia Phillies have now entered...into the stretch. http://phillies.scout.com/2/785680.html 2047 Allen Ariza (aka CD) http://phillies.scout.com/2/785680.html Mon, 01 Sep 2008 23:47:00 GMT 0 309 Philadelphia phillies Once upon a time, in the good city of Brotherly Love, there lived a general manager who longed to leave his thrown with a crowning achievement, a world series of glory. Yet despite his noble efforts he sensed at a crucial point in the road his lacking in one key area. Stout arms, trusty lords, loyal servants. Upon request from an anxious crowd, he was heard to exclaim..."my kingdom for a bat." http://phillies.scout.com/2/781761.html 2047 Allen Ariza (aka CD) http://phillies.scout.com/2/781761.html Thu, 21 Aug 2008 20:24:00 GMT 0 309 Philadelphia phillies For years, Pat Gillick built a reputation of moving slowly. So slowly, in fact, that he picked up the nickname 'Stand Pat' for his efforts. Not so with the Phillies, who have seen him log a lot of hours and a number of deadline deals in his previous two seasons. http://phillies.scout.com/2/773552.html 2047 Chuck Hixson http://phillies.scout.com/2/773552.html Tue, 29 Jul 2008 22:17:00 GMT 1 309 Philadelphia phillies The Phillies find themselves in a familiar spot after their initial game of the '08 season, in last place with an 0-1 record. More ominously, there was some strange symmetry at work following the game that was difficult to ignore for many Phil phans. On many fronts, from decision making to division taking, the common question was that of...one and done? http://phillies.scout.com/2/742821.html 2047 Allen Ariza (aka CD) http://phillies.scout.com/2/742821.html Wed, 02 Apr 2008 14:24:00 GMT 0 309 Philadelphia phillies The Phillies and Ryan Howard wound up before three arbitrators on Wednesday and the Phillies made sure to mention Howard's service time as a key issue. http://phillies.scout.com/2/730580.html 2047 Chuck Hixson http://phillies.scout.com/2/730580.html Wed, 20 Feb 2008 21:10:00 GMT 1 309 Philadelphia phillies Baseball is forever providing educational lessons to its myriad of fans and as with any education process, its fan base is forever desiring to offer grades for performance. As spring training arrives, many Phillie phans have taken to grading the off season moves of Pat Gillick. Yet, as with many unfinished products it is best to remember that his grade is still an...incomplete. http://phillies.scout.com/2/730066.html 2047 Allen Ariza (aka CD) http://phillies.scout.com/2/730066.html Mon, 18 Feb 2008 23:41:00 GMT 0 309 Philadelphia phillies The days until pitchers and catchers report for spring training are now counting down to a precious few. Predictably, Phillie phans are apprehensive about a few spots in the lineup, notably third base and starting pitchers. Yet, if form follows function then that apprehension should soon turn into...delayed gratification. http://phillies.scout.com/2/720314.html 2047 Allen Ariza (aka CD) http://phillies.scout.com/2/720314.html Tue, 15 Jan 2008 22:14:00 GMT 0 309 Philadelphia phillies The frustration among Phillie phans is quite palatable at this time of year with the realization that their favorite baseball nine as presently composed is "oh so close" to becoming a dominant force in a less than dominant league. A missing piece or two is all that separates them from a championship...there for the taking. http://phillies.scout.com/2/713976.html 2047 Allen Ariza (aka CD) http://phillies.scout.com/2/713976.html Sun, 23 Dec 2007 23:37:00 GMT 0 309 Philadelphia phillies Nashville is the land of great country music and song and will now play host to baseball's annual rite of offseason passage, the winter meetings. It is a time of wonder for baseball fans eager for news of player dealings that will at last deliver long awaited glory. Phillie phans are no exception and wait in anticipation of this years...winter wonder land. http://phillies.scout.com/2/707584.html 2047 Allen Ariza (aka CD) http://phillies.scout.com/2/707584.html Sun, 02 Dec 2007 22:24:00 GMT 0 309 Philadelphia phillies With Pat Gillick announcing that next season will be his last in Philadelphia, the rumors start to fly about who will succeed him. It could set up somewhat of a power struggle as inside candidates jockey for position. http://phillies.scout.com/2/684014.html 2047 Chuck Hixson http://phillies.scout.com/2/684014.html Wed, 26 Sep 2007 13:18:00 GMT 1 309 Philadelphia phillies It is often said that we cannot clearly see where we are going until we take a moment to study just where we have been. July 31 marks an important date in the future of the Philadelphia Phillies as it was merely one year ago today that the current team truly took shape. In the rush to win now at all costs, it is well to stop and examine the team with a little...perspective. http://phillies.scout.com/2/663340.html 2047 Allen Ariza (aka CD) http://phillies.scout.com/2/663340.html Tue, 31 Jul 2007 18:09:00 GMT 0 309 Philadelphia phillies Monday was a bad day for the Phillies. Oh, they beat Chicago, but lost out in the transaction column for the day and also may have lost two key players to injuries. Now is the time for the Phillies to turn things around and a quick phone call to our nation's capital will do just that. http://phillies.scout.com/2/663302.html 2047 Jay Zenz http://phillies.scout.com/2/663302.html Tue, 31 Jul 2007 16:00:00 GMT 1 309 Philadelphia phillies After a 4-3 West Coast trip, including three wins in a row in San Diego, the Phillies return home and could have Brett Myers back by the weekend. With all of that good news, GM Pat Gillick is ready to do some shopping. http://phillies.scout.com/2/661191.html 2047 Scout.com http://phillies.scout.com/2/661191.html Tue, 24 Jul 2007 17:49:00 GMT 0 309 Philadelphia phillies As the clock ticks ever closer towards that July 31 trading deadline, Phillie phans are curious as to the direction their heroes will ultimately take. They anxiously await any news that might indicate an impending deal, if ever so tiny. Yet, it might just behoove all involved to remember the big picture and not lose sight of...the Master Plan. http://phillies.scout.com/2/660140.html 2047 Allen Ariza (aka CD) http://phillies.scout.com/2/660140.html Fri, 20 Jul 2007 11:52:00 GMT 0 309 Philadelphia phillies The question is as open ended as it is perplexing for a Philadelphia Phillie team standing dangerously close to a ledge yet refusing to acknowledge a potential fall into pretender's oblivion. Buyers or sellers as the trade deadline nears? Contender or pretender? The wisest course might be to follow these two simple words...buyer beware! http://phillies.scout.com/2/658136.html 2047 Allen Ariza (aka CD) http://phillies.scout.com/2/658136.html Thu, 12 Jul 2007 13:31:00 GMT 0 309 Philadelphia phillies
