Phillies Making Moves…
The ever-changing roster continued to shuffle today as the Phillies officially recalled RHP Rodrigo Lopez from the Lehigh Valley IronPigs, and designated ineffective LHP Jack Taschner for assignment.
Lopez, a winner of sixty-five games at the Major League level, came to the ‘Pigs
after a winter which included a spot on the Mexican World Baseball Classic team,
and a chance to pitch in the Phillies’ Minor League camp. After proving his
elbow was okay, — one in which had “Tommy John” elbow ligament replacement
surgery performed on it in August 2007, Lopez opened the sesason in the Lehigh
Valley rotation, and took the most of the opportunity.
A native of Mexico, Lopez got the nod on Friday night instead of youngsters Kyle Kendrick, Drew Carpenter, and Carlos Carrasco. Lopez went through a solid stretch in his last three outings, something which earned him his first shot back in the Big Leagues — he last pitched in 2007.
Over his last three starts,
Lopez posted a 3-0 mark with a 0.64 ERA (21 IP, 19 H, 4 R, 2 ER, 2 BB, 15 K),
something which got the attention of Phillies G.M. Ruben Amaro Jr., who was in
attendance at Coca-Cola Park on Monday.
With the Phillies needing to clear a spot for Lopez, they designated Taschner for assignment. Taschner, who was acquired from San Francisco for catcher Ronny
Paulino in spring training, was 1-1 with a 5.20 ERA in 21 appearances with the Phillies. The Phils now have 10 days to trade
Taschner, waive him or send him outright to the minors.
Former ‘Pigs Catch On With Other Teams
Good morning, and welcome into the ‘Pigs Pen.
I thought it would be interesting to take a look at some of the players who spent 2008 in the Lehigh Valley, and have now caught on with other teams, the most recent one coming on Tuesday.
Former IronPigs outfielder Brandon Watson, the first ‘Pigs baserunner in franchise history, signed a minor league contract on Tuesday with the Arizona Diamondbacks. Watson will also be invited to Spring Training, competing for a job on the big league roster. Watson batted .305 with 6 homers, and 40 RBI. He led the team in at-bats, hits, and runs.
Joining Watson in Arizona will be former ‘Pigs starter Travis Blackley. The Australian born Blackley, was inked to a deal back on December 19, and added to the 40-man roster. Blackley, a 6’3, 200 pound lefty, went 5-10 with a 5.41 ERA in 28 games with the ‘Pigs in 2008.
Last year’s starting catcher Jason Jaramillo was dealt in the off season, in the Ronny Paulino deal. The deal between the two Pennsylvania teams, was one that was interesting because it was a deal between fellow backstops. Paulino, figures to be in the Phillies plans at the major league level, while Jaramillo figures to fulfill the same for the Pirates in 2009. Jaramillo batted .266 with 8 homers and 39 RBI’s in 115 games for the ‘Pigs in 2008.
Another player with a new team in 2009, is reliever R.J. Swindle, who was signed to a contract by the Milwaukee Brewers. The lefty, a member of the Brew Crew’s 40-man roster, inked his deal back in November, and looks to fill a spot a bullpen led by future Hall of Famer, Trevor Hoffman.
Some players will be taking a different route in 2009 and will be heading east, far east. Les Walrond and Matt Childers both signed with teams in Japan in December of 2008 ending their affiliation with the Phillies system.
Walrond, who everyone will remember for his 17-strikeout performance, signed with the Yokohama BayStars of Japan’s Central League. He enjoyed a successful season in the Lehigh Valley, which earned him a spot on the Phillies. In 6 games with the World Champions, Walrond went 1-1 with a 6.10 ERA. It was his success with the ‘Pigs, however, which led Walrond to becoming a household name in the Lehigh Valley in 2008.
Childers signed with the Tohoku Rakuten Golden Eagles in Japan in December 2008. The ‘Pigs closer during the 2008 inaugural season, Childers led the team with 20 saves and posted a 3.78 ERA in 53 games.
John Suomi – Drafted by the Kansas City Royals in the Rule 5 Draft
3 Others have caught on with the Los Angeles Dodgers:
Brian Mazone – Signed to a minor league deal by the Los Angeles Dodgers
Stephen Randolph – Signed to a minor league deal by the Los Angeles Dodgers
Valentino Pascucci – Signed to a minor league deal by the Los Angeles Dodgers
3 Phillies Prospects Among “Names To Know In 2009″
Earlier this afternoon, USA TODAY Sports Weekly announced their 13th annual, 100 Names You Need to Know list.
According to USA TODAY, the list of 100 players is comprised of rising stars who can make an impact in the majors in 2009.
Here is their criteria: “Not all of the players on our list have rookie status, but our standard
for inclusion is that a player must have had more innings or at-bats in
the minor leagues in 2008 than he has had during all of his major
league time”.
With that being said, the Phillies had three players crack the top 100, and one, crack the Top 10.
Below you will find the names of the three Phillies prospects, (two members of the 2008 IronPigs), and USA TODAY’s thoughts on each.
Just in case you were curious, here are the Top 10:
1. David Price, RHP, Rays
2. Travis Snider, OF, Blue Jays:
3. Chris Davis, 1B, Rangers:
4. Pablo Sandoval, IF, Giants:
5. Kenshin Kawakami, RHP, Braves:
6. Cameron Maybin, OF, Marlins:
7. Taylor Teagarden, C, Rangers:
8. Dexter Fowler, OF, Rockies:
9. Matt Wieters, C, Orioles:
10. Carlos Carrasco, RHP, Phillies: Philadelphia’s
top pitching prospect, Carrasco, who turns 22 on March 21, is expected
to compete for the fifth starter’s job but might be focused on pitching
for Venezuela in the World Baseball Classic. “I think he’s going to be
one of our starting pitchers — whether that will be in 2009 or 2010
kind of depends on how he develops,” GM Ruben Amaro says. “He throws 92 to 96 mph with a good breaking ball and good changeup, and he handled Triple-A quite well.”
Other Phillies farmhands cracking the Top 100 include:
88. Lou Marson, C, Phillies: Marson,
22, gained valuable big-game experience as a member of the U.S. Olympic
team. Solid defensively with a quick release, he works well with
pitchers. Offensively, his .433 on-base percentage was the best in the
Class AA Eastern League and in the Phillies’ system. Philadelphia will
have several veteran catching candidates ahead of him this spring, so
it’s likely the team would prefer to let him play regularly in the
minors. “Lou’s got a chance to be an everyday catcher at some point,”
GM Ruben Amaro says.
95. J.A. Happ, LHP, Phillies: Happ’s
ERA in four starts for the Phillies last season was 2.28, but he also
made four relief appearances. That could be significant because J.C. Romero‘s
50-game suspension will have Philadelphia looking for early-season help
from a lefty in the bullpen. Happ, 26, throws a 90-mph fastball and
mixes in an effective changeup, slider and curve.
Catch Up With Possible IronPigs Backstops in 2009
The 2009 season should prove to be a positive one behind the plate for the Lehigh Valley IronPigs. Led by catching prospect Lou Marson, the IronPigs figure to have some punch behind the plate, something they may have lacked in 2008.
It all began this off season when the Phillies dealt last year’s IronPigs starting catcher Jason Jaramillo to the Pittsburgh Pirates for fellow catcher Ronny Paulino, a move that may have been surprising to some, but may have been a sign of things to come for others.
With that trade, questions surrounding the catching situation in Philadelphia would begin to arise, subsequently bringing questions that may affect the IronPigs roster in 2009. Now, possible catchers fighting for spots on the 2009 Phillies include, last year’s platoon of Carlos Ruiz, and Chris Coste, as well as newly acquired Ronny Paulino, veteran Paul Hoover, who will probably be a backup in Lehigh Valley, and prospect Lou Marson, who figures to serve as the starting catcher for the IronPigs early on.
Last season, the World Champs received a combined 13 homers and 67 RBI’s from the catcher’s spot, perhaps a reason for the trade of Paulino, who although struggled last year at the plate, hit 11 homers, while providing stellar defense in a platoon role for the Pirates in 2007. If Paulino were to get his swing back this spring, the Phillies would have to consider the former Pirate as part of their catching corps for 2009. Any consideration would then give give the Phillies something to think about regarding their catchers situation this season.
The battle for the catchers spot on the 2009 Phillies looks to be at least a three player battle between Ruiz, Coste, and Paulino, all veterans at the major league level. It remains to be seen what would happen to the odd man out. Would the Phils carry three catchers? Would they trade one of those guys? Would one of those three spend 2009 in Lehigh Valley?
Although those questions can be asked, and will most likely be answered in the upcoming weeks. One intriguing name in camp this year will be Lou Marson, who was ranked third on Baseball America’s top prospects in the Phillies organization for 2009. Marson, an athletic backstop who can hit for average, batted .314 last season for the Reading Phillies, and led the Eastern League with a .433 on-base percentage. He was both a midseason and postseason All Star in 2008, a banner year for the 22-year-old catcher, who not only excelled at the Double-A level, but when called upon by the Phils, Marson showed why he should be their catcher of the future.
As a September call up, Marson earned his first start behind the dish on September 28, the final game of the 2008 regular season and went 2-4 and connected on his first major league homer. Marson and Matt Stairs hit back to back homers in the eighth inning and helped the Phillies win the game by a score of 8-3 over the Washington Nationals. Also in that game, former IronPigs starter Les Walrond tossed two shutout innings to pickup his first career major league win.
Phillies Manager Charlie Manuel on Lou Marson,”I saw him when he was a rookie. When he first signed, he was 17 years
old out of Arizona. I liked him then and he’s going to be a good
player. He’s got big hands and he can throw and he can handle the mitt.
There’s no reason why he can’t be a good catcher.”
Now, with a successful 2008 season at the Double-A level, and a successful first game in the Bigs, Marson figures to be in the Phillies future, perhaps sooner than later.
My thoughts:
If I had to guess on where the players will catch, at least in the beginning of 2009, here is what I would say:
Phillies – Platoon of Carlos Ruiz & Ronny Paulino
IronPigs – Starter – Lou Marson. Backup – Paul Hoover
With that being said, unless the Phillies decide to carry 3 catchers, Chris Coste will become expendable. At that point, the Phillies could deal Coste, who would fit on plenty of teams in the Majors. One team that comes to mind is the New York Yankees, who after losing Ivan Rodriguez to free agency, may be in the market for a backup catcher to fill in for starter Jorge Posada, who is an injury risk at this point in his career.
The Phillies could trade Coste to the Yankees for Kei Igawa, letting the Yankees take on almost all of Igawa’s contract of course. Then, the Phillies can convert Igawa into their second lefty out of the bullpen, and then, pray! Hey it’s crazy, but it may just work!
That’s all for now, Stay tuned ‘Pigs fans…
John Mayberry Jr. on MLB.COM
There’s a good possibility that when the IronPigs open the season on April 9, 2009, the newly aquired John Mayberry Jr. will patrol the outfield at Coca-Cola Park. Mayberry Jr., who came over from Texas in an off season trade, (Phillies dealt Greg Golson straight up for Mayberry Jr.), hit .263 with 16 homers in 114 games at Oklahoma Citylast year. He should provide the IronPigs with some power in a lineup that will also include 2008 stars, Mike Cervenak and Andy Tracy.
With the Phillies looking for a right-handed power bat off the bench, it remains to be seen if Mayberry Jr. would get a look during the spring to win that job. He would, however, receive a huge boost in value if the Phillies were able to deal either Geoff Jenkins or Matt Stairs, both of whom are lefties. Jenkins, who’s owed $6.75 million for the ’09 season, has a mutual
option of $7.5 million for ’10, but would be a lot harder to deal. Stairs, who will turn 41 this month, is owed just $1 million for the upcoming season in an
expiring contract.
In any sense, here is a 3 minute interview with Mayberry Jr.from MLB.com, enjoy! http://mlb.mlb.com/media/video.jsp?mid=200901283779554

The Phils 5th Rotation Spot – Part 3
Good
afternoon, and although that crazy little critter (I refuse to call a
groundhog Phil), saw his shadow, and baseball fans will have to sit
through six more weeks of winter, I figured I would continue my look
toward spring training, and begin with part 3 of my look into the
Phillies final rotation spot for the 2009 season.
Over the
past few days, I already looked at possible candidates for the fifth
spot. Those candidates included Kyle Kendrick, Chan Ho Park, J.A.
Happ, and Adam Eaton, although according to what Phillies G.M. Ruben
Amaro Jr had to say about Eaton, the race is between four pitchers. In
case you were interested, Amaro said this regarding Adam Eaton:
“For me, the competition based on what we’ve seen over the last couple
of years, is a four-man competition, and he’s not involved in it”.
With
all that being said, there is still one more player who I haven’t
looked at in detail yet, and although he may have the brightest future
of the five, he should have the hardest time cracking the rotation due
to his age and most importantly inexperience at the major league level.
Carlos Carrasco
B-T: R-R; HT; 6-3; WT; 215
BORN: March 21, 1987, Barquisimeto, VZ
RESIDES: Barquisimeto, VZ
OBTAINED: Signed by Phillies as an amateur free agent, 10/25/03
Carlos
Carrasco, a 21-year old righty out of Venezuela, looks to build off a
successful 2008 season in the minors. Carrasco, the 2006 Paul Owens
Award winner, (award for the best prospect in the Phillies minor league
season), went 12-6 with a 2.26 ERA between Clearwater and Reading. It
was after the 2006 season that Carrasco, just 19 years old at the time,
was named the top prospect in the Phillies system by Baseball America.
Now,
as the top prospect for the Philies, Carrasco continued to shine and
combined to go 12-6 with a 3.86 ERA in 26 games between Clearwater (A)
and Reading (AA) in 2007. After two consecutive seasons with twelve
wins, Carrasco entered the 2008 season rated as the Phillies’ No. 1
Prospect by Baseball America for the second straight season.
Carrasco
began the 2008 season with the Phillies Double-A affiliate, the Reading
Phillies, and after 114.2 innings, in which he compiled a 7-7 record
with a 4.32 ERA, he earned a promotion to the IronPigs. It was there
that Carrasco truly shined and showed why he was the Phillies top
prospect.
On August 3, 2008, Carrasco made his Triple-A debut,
and impressed after tossing 6.2 innings, allowing two runs, (both
unearned), and just six hits in a no-decision. With a successful debut
under his belt, Carrasco followed it up with an impressive second start
in which he tossed 6 solid innings, allowing eight hits on three runs,
(all unearned), and fanning 10 en route to his first win at the
Triple-A level. Carrasco turned heads with a 1-0 record and a 0.00 ERA
with 14 strikeouts in 12.2 innings in his first two starts.
Although
Carrasco lost his next two games, one in which he struggled mightily,
(on August 19, allowed 5 IP, 9 hits, 6 earned runs), he finished up his
2008 season with the IronPigs on a high note. In his last two pitching
performances, Carrasco tossed 13 innings, and allowed just two runs,
both unearned, over nine hits. He also dominated hitters, striking out
seventeen, continuing his dominance at home in 2008, (2-0, 0.00 ERA, 31
K’s in 25.2 IP).
The future for Carrasco looks to be a bright
one, and although he probably won’t make the rotation out of spring
training, a strong season at the Triple-A level will undoubtedly give
him a shot at some point in 2008.
With all this being said, and
now with all the possible candidates getting their fair due, it is time
for me to give my pick for the fifth rotation spot.
My pick is J.A. Happ who has now spent parts of the last three seasons in Triple-A, and more importantly deserves the shot.
When
given the chance last season to start for Philly, Happ showed he was
more than capable of a rotation spot. In his first three starts at the
big league level in 2008, Happ went 1-0 with a 2.11 ERA. In his fourth
and final start, Happ tossed 6.2 innings, and allowed just 2 runs on 5
hits with 5 strikeouts for the future World Champs. And although Happ
failed to pick up the win, the Phillies beat the Braves by a score of
6-2 that September day, only further solidifying his place on the 2009
Phillies opening day roster.
Here is how I figure things will shape up to begin the 2009 in Philly and beyond:
Phils 5th Rotation Spot – J.A. Happ
Phillies Long Reliever – Chan Ho Park
IronPigs Opening Day Starter – Carlos Carrasco
IronPigs Number 2 Starter – Kyle Kendrick
??????? – Adam Eaton – not even I can answer that one.
Stay tuned, ‘Pigs fans..
The Phils 5th Rotation Spot – Part 2
Well, a good morning to you, and how do you do? I begin this blog with where we left off yesterday, and most importantly, the answer to question 3.
3. Will the Phillies look to the farm, and take a long look at some of their youngsters?
The answer to this question, although you can probably add in a few other names, can only truly be answered with the names of the two best pitchers for the IronPigs in 2008, (no disrespect to Les Walrond and his 17 strikeout performance), but of course, it’s J.A. Happ, and Carlos Carrasco.
As we take a look, and consider the Phillies fifth rotation spot, there’s no doubt in my mind, that at some point this spring, Happ, and Carrasco will both get very long looks from Phils manager Charlie Manuel and pitching coach Rich Dubee.
And with that being said, I’ll tell you why one of those names should make the rotation now, and why the other should continue to work on things in the Lehigh Valley, although, after seeing him pitch in 2008, there doesn’t seem like there’s anything to “work on”.
J.A. Happ – James Anthony Happ
B-T: L-L; HT; 6-6; WT; 200
BORN: October 19, 1982, Spring Valley, IL
COLLEGE: Northwestern
DRAFT: 2004 – 3rd round by the Philadelphia Phillies
Let’s begin with Happ, a 26-year-old lefty, who spent the majority of the last two seasons in Triple-A. And although he struggled with Ottawa in 2007, (finished the season with a 4-6 record and a 5.02 ERA), Happ showed he can mow down hitters by striking out 117 in 118.1 innings, something he also showed in 2006, when he struck out 162 batters in 161 innings, (those numbers were combined from his time with Clearwater, Reading, and Scranton/Wilkes-Barre during the 2006 season).
In 2008 though, as a member of the IronPigs, Happ really put it all together. He finished second in the International League in strikeouts with 151 (Bill Murphy, SYR, 152), and finished eighth with a 3.60 ERA (David Purcey, SYR, 2.69). Add in a 6-2 record and a 3.15 ERA in his final twelve I.L. starts, and Happ proved why he was worth a call to the bigs, one that would come on three different occasions in 2008.
In his first two starts with the Phils in 2008, Happ tossed eleven innings, allowing just four runs on eight hits, while striking out eight. Perhaps the most important thing out of all that, was that Happ kept the Phillies in those games, both of which ended in wins for the future World Champs. And although Happ was sent back to Lehigh Valley after two successful starts in the majors, and although he had an unsuccessful bullpen gig in Philly during his second big league tour, Happ’s September call to the show proved to me why he belongs as the Phillies fifth starter in 2009, (1-0 record, 12.2 IP, 8 hits, 2 ER, 7 K in 2 starts).
At the end of the season, Happ was awarded the Paul Owens Award for the best pitcher in the Phillies minor league system, another reason why J. Happ should be the leading candidate for the fifth rotation spot. But, before I go and give it to Happ, there is one more player that we must take a look at first. But hey, that’s why there’s always tomorrow.
Stay tuned, ‘Pigs fans…
Former ‘Pig Impresses At Workout
Is it me, or is the fact that Kris Benson is impressing at a workout,
old news?
This past Saturday, former IronPigs starter, or
former Pirates top prospect, or former Mets starter, or is it former
Orioles starter, I get confused, impressed scouts at a tryout to show
that he can still pitch in the majors. Not only did nine Major League
teams watch, but most scouts left with the impression that Kris Benson
can still pitch at the big league level, that is if he can stay
healthy.
Benson’s agent Gregg Clifton said the throwing
session “went well, and he showed teams that he’s ahead of schedule in
getting ready for the ’09 season.”
So now that Benson has
impressed the scouts in a throwing session, which teams will sign the
34-year-old? Or perhaps the most important question, one that seems to
be the same old question regarding Benson, can the righty avoid getting
injured, again?
That of course is the million dollar question,
and you know, I always find it upsetting to see a player struggle
through so many injuries, especially when he has the kind of talent
that Benson once showed.
Benson was drafted first overall in
1996 by the Pittsburgh Pirates, after winning the Dick Howser Trophy
for the National Collegiate Baseball Player of the Year and the Rotary
Smith Award in 1996. And although he showed signs of brilliance in
2000, Benson was never able to put it all together.
And because
of all the injuries, instead of cementing his name in Cooperstown
someday with the likes of other first overall picks, (Ken Griffy Jr.,
Alex Rodriguez, & Chipper Jones), Benson will be always linked to
other first overall picks who suffered through injuries throughout
their short-lived careers, (David Clyde, Paul Wilson & Ben
McDonald).
One plus at this point, is that he will not be
linked to even bigger first overall pick busts, (Brien Taylor, Shawn
Abner, Danny Goodwin, Al Chambers, & Matt Anderson, who was not the
same pitcher after injuring his arm in an Octopus throwing contest, I
kid you not).
Benson, though, will be looked at as a short term,
buy-low candidate, again, for a team looking for starting pitching.
Unfortunately, his numbers last year with the IronPigs, (1-4 with a
5.52 ERA, and 85 hits in 60.1 IP), indicate to me, that maybe Benson is
not ready to be pitching in the majors at the beginning of 2009. But
maybe, just maybe, two years removed from his shoulder injury, Benson
will be ready to prove he can pitch at the big league level once again,
but that’s a big maybe, stay tuned ‘Pigs fans…
The Phils’ 5th Rotation Spot – Part 1
Welcome
into the ‘Pigs Pen for the first edition of my Phillies Triple-A themed
blog, with an in-depth look into everything baseball in 2009 and beyond
in the Lehigh Valley.
For those of you who don’t know, the
Lehigh Valley is home to the Triple-A affiliate of the Philadelphia
Phillies, the Lehigh Valley IronPigs. The IronPigs are located in
Allentown, PA, and play their home games in beautiful Coca-Cola Park,
and if you haven’t seen it, what are you waiting for?
With all
that being said, let’s get into the meat and potatoes of this blog, or
pork, if you prefer, and take a look into the possible fight to win the
Phillies fifth rotation spot, one that will include some players who
played with the IronPigs in 2008. And well, because this is January,
and because we are just 2 weeks or so away from Spring Training, there
will be a lot of questions to answer, even for a team coming off a
World Championship.
Some of those questions at the big league
level, will undoubtedly have an affect on the ‘Pigs roster in 2009.
With pitching being at such a premium nowadays, perhaps the most
important decision will come when the Phils will have to pick a fifth
starter at some point this offseason. With that being said, here are
some of the questions surrounding the battle for the fifth spot in the
rotation…
1. Will the Phillies fill out their rotation with a free agent pickup, (Chan Ho Park)?
Chan
Ho Park, the first Korean born player in the Majors, made his debut all
the way back in 1994 as a member of the Los Angeles Dodgers, a team he’s
had his most success with in the majors. After testing the free agent
waters successfully, for him, unsuccessfully for the Texas Rangers, (he
signed a 5 year, $65 million dollar contract with the Rangers), Park
struggled on the mound and fought injuries, thus not living up to his
once elite starter status. And although Park revived his career last
year with who else, the Dodgers, and recently pulled his name from WBC
consideration, his struggles toward the end of the season, (in his
final 14 appearances, allowed 13 earned runs), make it somewhat hard to
believe he would start, instead of relieve for the Phillies in 2009.
2.
Will the Phillies hand the ball back to either of the demoted duo,
(Kyle Kendrick or Adam Eaton) after both starters struggled in 2008?
Let’s
begin with Kyle Kendrick, a homegrown player, (drafted in the 7th round
of the 2003 draft), who was a great story in 2007, after finishing the
season with a 10-4 record and a 3.87 ERA in 20 games, as a potential
number five in 2009. Kendrick’s spot in the rotation heading into 2008
looked as set in stone as you can get. But when Kendrick struggled in
2008, (11-9 with a 5.49 ERA), he really struggled. And now, with the
number of pitchers competing for the final spot, the chance to jump
back into the rotation would rely on him regaining his 2007 form,
something that might not be so easy to do, (194 hits in 155.2/3 innings
in 2008, phew).
And then there’s Adam Eaton, the $24 million
dollar man, who will need to have a monster spring to even be thought
of for the fifth spot at this point. After finishing 2007 with a 10-10
record and an eye-popping 6.29 ERA, things would only get worse for
Eaton. In 2008, he hit rock bottom, and was demoted in July after
posting a 4-8 record and a 5.80 ERA. Then, to add insult to injury,
Eaton struggled in the minors, as he went a combined 0-5 with a 7.02
ERA in seven starts. He was called up in September, but never pitched,
perhaps a sign that he’ll most likely spend the 2009 season somewhere
other then Philly, and cost the World Champs $8.5 million bucks in the
process.
3. Will the Phillies look to the farm, and take a long look at some of their youngsters?
And it’s
with this question, and answer, that we will begin to tie this
interesting topic into Triple-A baseball, and more specifically
IronPigs baseball. But before we get too excited, we’ll look at this
question in-depth tomorrow. As for now, stay tuned ‘Pigs fans…
