Phillies Exploring Oswalt, Werth Trades
By Ben Nicholson-Smith [July 20, 2010 at 10:44pm CST]
The Phillies are exploring acquiring Roy Oswalt and moving Jayson Werth in a companion trade, reports ESPN's Jayson Stark. GM Ruben Amaro Jr. says nothing is close, but Ed Price of AOL FanHouse says the Oswalt talks are "heavy." Oswalt has yet to be presented with a deal for his approval. Stark says the Phils have also discussed Dan Haren, Jeremy Guthrie, and Ben Sheets as they leave no rock unturned. As for Werth, Stark believes the Rays "head the list of interested teams." The impending free agent would be moved to save money, stock the farm system, and open up a spot for Domonic Brown. Stark says the Red Sox, Giants, and Padres are also interested in Werth.
The Phillies recently optioned Kyle Kendrick to the minors and lost Jamie Moyer to an elbow strain, so they could use starting pitching depth. GM Ruben Amaro Jr. hinted today that the club could acquire a starter by Saturday. The Phils have already committed $135MM to next year's payroll, so adding an expensive arm like Haren or Oswalt would take some maneuvering.
One candidate to start Saturday, or perhaps be traded, is J.A. Happ. Stark says the Phillies have shopped the lefty, and the Astros scouted him on Tuesday.

I think Oswalt would be a good fit for Philly.
But I always thought Werth would be a good 3rd or fourth starter for them.

You thought Jayson Werth would be a good 3rd or 4th starter for them?

I did at one point.
But if they can get Oswalt in a trade that includes Werth then more power to them.

The Phillies f'd themselves trading Lee. Now they're scrambling looking for another top pitcher.
Uh, you had a horse and let him go to save money. F you, you deserve to lose now. You do NOT let a guy like that walk. Halladay and Lee would have been outstanding. This is the baseball Gods punishing you.
They can talk up Oswalt all they want. I'll take Cliff Lee. Especially when he was already here. You didn't need to move Werth to get him.

I was surprised as you they didn't try and get him back, because now they are paying for it by being a 500 ball club again.
It at least plays a part in their rotation right now. That among other things this year.

Halladay K's 9 as Phils handle Rockies day after firing hitting coach
Halladay, Phillies Blank Rockies, 6-0
Associated Press
PHILADELPHIA -- As the Philadelphia Phillies try to solve some surprising problems on offense, their pitching staff is coming on strong.
Roy Halladay cruised through eight innings, Raul Ibanez drove in three runs with three hits and Philadelphia beat the Colorado Rockies 6-0 on Friday night for its second consecutive shutout.
"You feel good when you get five runs and Roy is on the mound," Ibanez said. "It was a nice boost for our club."
Halladay (11-8) allowed five hits and a walk while striking out nine on a 92-degree evening at Citizens Bank Park. The right-hander threw 116 pitches in his first win since July 5 against Atlanta.
"He was hitting his spots and he doesn't give in," Colorado first baseman Jason Giambi said. "He changes speed and location. That's what he does. Tonight, he was on."
Philadelphia pitchers have tossed 20 straight scoreless innings the past two days. Cole Hamels and four relievers allowed one hit Thursday, beating St. Louis 2-0 in 11 innings. The Phillies also posted consecutive shutouts July 10-11 against Cincinnati, winning both games 1-0.
One day after the Phillies fired hitting coach Milt Thompson and replaced him with Greg Gross, manager Charlie Manuel tinkered with his struggling lineup against Rockies starter Aaron Cook (4-6). Manuel benched Shane Victorino, moved Jayson Werth to center field and inserted Ross Gload in right.
Gload had two hits, including a two-run homer that made the score 5-0. He is 7 for 9 in his career against Cook, who fell to 1-6 against Philadelphia.
The Phillies, who returned from a 2-6 road trip, had 12 hits for the second straight day.
After squandering a bases-loaded, one-out chance in the fourth inning, Philadelphia broke loose for five runs in the fifth. Jimmy Rollins and Placido Polanco opened with singles and scored on Ibanez's double to center. Werth added a sacrifice fly, then Gload hit his fourth homer of the season.
"I don't feel like I was pitching that poorly," Cook said. "They put some good swings on balls."
Halladay took it from there, allowing only one runner to reach third base. J.C. Romero worked a hitless ninth.
"I did a good job of mixing pitches. I threw a lot of everything. A lot of changeups, fastballs to both sides. I really tried to use everything," Halladay said. "I didn't pitch exactly where I wanted, but I think I did a really good job of keeping them off balance."
Though he often dominates on the mound, Halladay has been a tough-luck loser several times this season. He's received 18 total runs of support in his eight losses, but he got five in the fifth inning Friday.
"It's always huge," Halladay said. "That home run was huge. It seems like we get a couple here or there, but not that big hit to put the game away."
Colorado has lost six of eight since the All-Star break.
"Basically, it was Halladay being Halladay," Rockies manager Jim Tracy said. "He was tremendous tonight. Obviously, it's not the first time he's pitched like that in his career."
Game notes
Halladay has a 25-inning scoreless streak at Citizens Bank Park. ... Victorino, who entered as a defensive replacement, is 1 for 16 against Cook. ... Phillies 1B Ryan Howard stole his first base of the season in the fifth. His previous steal came Sept. 28 against Houston. ... Rockies SS Troy Tulowitzki is scheduled to play nine innings Saturday and Sunday for Double-A Tulsa as he continues his rehabilitation from a wrist injury. Tracy said Tulowitzki could be activated as early as Tuesday.
