The big team made another roster move today optioning Erik Kratz (C) to the Lehigh Valley IronPigs. I’m sure Erik wanted to back-up the Phils and he’s liable to get that chance again this year. Regardless, we’re glad to have last year’s AAA All-Star “backstop” returning.
Holy Kratz what a pic! (Erik Kratz poses with Noise Nation members Jason DiPro, Sara Haydt, Jay Gatsby and Dan Kehl)

You mean Sara Haydt (full name) lol. Great pic!
I think she has multiple identities – haha
The Phillies told Luis (Lou) Montañez he will not make the Phillies 25 man roster but he is being kept in big league camp for now. And as expected, Juan Pierre had his contract purchased by the Phillies and his name was added to the 40 man roster. That means he’ll make the Phillies. Hopefully Podsednik will be content if he comes back to the Lehigh Valley. Podsednik, Orr, and Luna are still fighting for one of the few remaining spots on the Phillies 25 man roster. Much will depend on whether the Phillies keep 11 or 12 pitchers.
*I* knew which one was Sara!
