Phillies keeping an eye on several pirate readers

The manager of another time, Rob Thomson, has done stellar work being the man in charge of Philadelphia phillies.

Philadelphia has made the playoffs of each of the last three seasons and with a file of 53-37 entering on Monday, he is off to a fourth consecutive appearance in the playoffs.

There is an area of ​​concern, however, and it is the enclosure of the Phillies. An era of the 4.32 lift enclosure ranks 23rd and this could be a problem at the end of the end of the season.

This is why Bob Nighingale of USA Today reported that Philadelphia expressed his interest in pirates from David Bednar and Dennis Santana.

Bednar had so much trouble in the first weeks of the season that he was optionized in Triple-A to settle things.

Whatever he worked a lot, while he heads for one of the best seasons in his MLB career.

He has a 2.73 MPM with 12 stops and 42 stick withdrawals in 33 appearances and 29 2/3 lanches launched. His 12.7 stick withdraws from nine -rounds are the highest in his career, and he would replace a perfect for a Jordan Romano in difficulty (6.82 ERA, eight stops) in the nearest role.

Santana was quietly among the best baseball readers this season. It has a stellar MPM of 1.42 in 38 appearances and 38 rounds launched.

He has not authorized a deserved race since June 3 and granted only one blow during his last seven appearances. Santana launched 12 1/3 rounds against NL East opponents this season and only granted two points deserved during these outings.

His war of 1.8 season would be greater than a full point higher than the next active relief launcher closest to the list of phillies.

A decision for one or the other of the two pirates of lifts would be an excellent movement for Philadelphia and would give it another high-level arm to face some of the big bats of the National League.
