Six ‘Claws on Phils Post-Season Roster

Six former BlueClaws on the Phillies Division Series roster (see the roster here). By position…

  • C Carlos Ruiz (2001)…Lakewood’s first catcher is the starter on the Phitins’ heading into the playoffs
  • 1B Ryan Howard (2002)…2005 ROY and 2006 MVP hit three home runs in the five-game World Series win last year
  • LHP Cole Hamels (2003)…went 3-0 in game ones last year but starts game two here
  • LHP JA Happ (2005)…perhaps the most consistent starter on the team is a ROY candidate after going 12-4, 2.93 
  • LHP Antonio Bastardo (2007)…long-man here is on roster in case he’s needed as a lefty
  • RHP Kyle Kendrick (2004-2006)…went 3-0 in September to earn a spot

Game one is Wednesday, 2:37 pm on TBS. Cliff Lee for the Phils and Ubaldo Jimenez for the Rockies. Hamels will pitch game two and TBA in game three. It might well be Happ as long as he is not needed in relief in games one or two. The Phillies have only Scott Eyre and Antonio Bastardo in their pen from the left side besides Happ, and the Rockies are very left-handed heavy in their lineup.
