Some transactions for the Phillies organization today:
Catcher Ryan Gugel and first baseman Robb Quinlan were released.
Pitcher Drew Naylor was optioned to the AAA squad.
Pitchers Justin DeFratus and J.C. Ramirez were optioned to AA.
Shortstop Carlos Rivero optioned to AA.
Second baseman Harold Garcia optioned to AA.
Second baseman Cesar Hernandez optioned to High Class A.
First baseman Matt Rizzotti optioned to AA.
Yes, Rizzotti to the AA squad. It was nice meeting him at the Ironpig’s winter banquet and I’m looking forward to seeing him fill the gaping hole left at first base when Andy Tracy left, but it looks like the Phillies player development folks may have other ideas. Possibly just feeling him out, possibly the AAA squad is overflowing with first basement right now. We’ll know for sure in early April so I wouldn’t worry too much Amanda. (Rizzotti’s superfan)
OinK!

Oh Dan, I’m not worried at all! Remember where I’m living now? It’ll be easier to watch him play if he’s in Reading!! LOL.
Way to be with the timely transactions!
Good news regarding Brian Bocock. After injuring his wrist/hand last week and having x-rays (negative) he was sent to Philadelphia to see a specialist. Everything must be okay because he’s back down in Clearwater with the Phillies.
That is good news!
