But on the Phillies talk on John -- dollars alongside Jim Salisbury CSN Philly dot com. Phillies insider. Lot of names being bandied about during the offseason hot stove league what about Melky Cabrera how would he fit with the Phillies twelve -- Cabrera would have been one of the prizes on this free agent market probably look in his deal. You know 45 years something like eighty million. Cost himself a lot of money -- that steroid suspension I think he's got to now be looking at a one year deal try to rebuild himself. As a player and rebuilt his reputation. The short term nature -- it probably would be attractive to the Phillies the fact that he can play center field. It -- right handed definitely attractive to the Phillies but the baggage I have to think that would give the Phillies paused and you're talking about a guy who tested positive for steroids. And then engaged in. Cover -- attempt that was embarrassing and you know illegal you know the defensive poked around -- that case a little bit so it's not a good scene for Melky Cabrera. The Phillies I'm not sure they wanna take on that baggage even though.

He has been a big win and Charlie mine it's an absolutely huge went and not just for Charlie and and his mind that the team and its actual record because. And look they would they went through that scoring drought. From Saturn better from Friday night through Sunday and then all of a sudden sort of in a way that I don't think anybody expected. They all seem sort of surprised by it. Where they break out of that scoring slump and then not only break out of it but also win the game with with two harm could really they had two chances to have a walk off win. But Cliff Lee got stuck on first base help but it was a it was a good it was a good weekend from another strong outing for John some bad news that is when Ryan Howard he's got. Bad left knee and Charlie and doesn't expect him to play tomorrow also Carlos I haven't MRI. On Monday to determine what's up. With his hamstring how big are these injuries absolutely Brigham and when you look at a team that has struck despite the fact that they won the game on Sunday. They're team that struggled to score and those are two of your better bats. In that lineup and both Howard and grocery said that they were database so you don't know when you're gonna get these guys back it didn't sound like they were in any danger at least not a Howard's.

Is those struggling shall we say the floundering fish the Miami Marlins the Phillies get to play them for three games even the bring. Back power forward in the five man rotation how do you like that are shaping up the least experience I think for the Phillies you gotta be pretty excited after coming off of a series where you were you squeak out this last one here after having his scoring John you see the Marlins had the the Marlins in the Mets have been. Sort of panacea for everything that ails the Phillies this season so for them. Then it's looking pretty good and certainly they have forgot what happened last on the face to face when they dropped the last two of four games at right here at Citizens Bank Park for John is Marshall Harris.
