Andy Phillips to be called up

[rca1230]

I don't mind the Josh Phelps DFA.. but I would rather it have been done after the interleague play than before it. We need the pinch hitters

[Krall]

GOOD
Andy had some big hits last summer. too bad he was ice cold in the spring.

although I'm getting sick of all the Phelps and Phillips running around, I keep confusing them.....

In terms of deals, something big is about to happen....

Phelps had some big hits too

I know we don't need another big bat like Phelps, but at least in the games I saw he did well. Sure he almost killed some guys at 1B but you can't have everything

When did he have "big hits?" I recall perhaps one occasion, where as every other game he was a GIDP machine.

Welcome back, Andy Phillips.

Ultimately Josh Phelps did not fit on the team. We have a pressing need for a 1st baseman, and that he is not. It's one thing to say we have a weak bench, but if you examine Phelps, where was he supposed to fit in besides the occassional PH for Miguel Cairo?

Last season Phillips did the following:

April (26 AB): .154/.214/.269
May (36 AB): .306/.333/.389
June (69 AB): .333/.347/.623
July (91 AB): .165/.208/.275

He only got 19 AB the rest of 2006.

Rookie Season: 110 G, 246 AB, 7 HR, 29 RBI, .240/.281/.394

[Kluivert4Ever]

I like Andy, he is not a long-term answer at first by any means but I think he is a better option than both Phelps and Cairo.

[fredgmuggs]

Is this official about Phelps?

[gdn]

ANDY!

[Toaderly]

Well, what happens if Baltimore doesn't want him back?

Doesn't Baltimore need a bullpen coach now - at least until Girardi takes the Manager's job?

[Kluivert4Ever]

ANDY!

I guess you deserved that one after T-Clip was send down.

[Metroidman]

If Andy got to play everyday he could be a good 1st baseman

[Kluivert4Ever]

Even after the ALCS in 2004?

Klu did you get my MVP 2005 link?

[Kluivert4Ever]

Klu did you get my MVP 2005 link?

Yeah, just got it, bro

Thanks!

Going to install it right away, looks awsome.

Perhaps we can play an online game sometime?

I´ll PM you about it later

There's a YES overlay too

[hellonewman]

As a short-term stopgap while Cashman works the phones, this is fine. Phillips gives you most of the "benefits," such as they are, of Cairo's D and Phelps' O, while only taking up one roster spot.

I'm a little surprised Phelps got the ax first instead of Basak, but ultimately they're probably both gone soon.

[Panamaniac42]

Anybody know if he learned to hit a breaking ball yet? I don't think I can stomach another platinum sombrero.

I hope he can hold the fort down for now...at least he can play D unlike Phelps.

[NYYRocket]

Andy should of been released, here we go again

[YankeeStripes]

I saw andy play yesterday in durham...he hit the ball pretty hard.

[parkerstrong]

Is he starting today?

[jughead]

Too bad. I had high hopes for Phelps, I was thinking he could put up at least a .280/.350/.450 line.
