The Phils finally returned to Philly tonight and completed their spring training schedule against the Pittsburgh Pirates. Jamie Moyer got the start and was rock solid again, allowing just 2 runs over 6 innings as the Phils held off Pittsburgh 4-2. Unfortunately, some of the Phils other pitchers weren't so lucky yesterday. Joe Blanton went down with an injury will be out for the first 3-6 weeks of the season. Which means Kyle Kendrick will in fact be in the Phils rotation until then at least. J.C Romero and Brad Lidge, who both spent the spring rehabbing were also placed the on the 15 day DL, but hopefully that's all the time they'll need to get back. In the meantime Ryan Madson will close the games for the Phils and they'll just have to figure out who the setup guy will be.

Well its nice for Kyle Kendrick to get a spot in the rotation but I would have preferred it wasn't because Blanton was injured. On the plus side he is a fitting replacement and Blanton wont be out too long.
