Reliever Brandon Kintzler and outfielder Matt Joyce have made the team. Reliever Tony Watson opted out of his minor league deal in hopes of hooking up with a new team.
Starting pitcher Spencer Howard was sent to the minor league camp so he can get more innings until he's needed in the bigs. Howard was slowed by injuries this spring. Will Scott Kingery also get sent down? He's had a god-awful spring and could probably use some regular at-bats to straighten himself out. That won't happen if he's on the bench in Philly.
The team still has to make some moves so Kintzler and Joyce can be added to the 40-man roster. One easy solution is to trade Vince Velasquez for a bag of left-handed curveballs and a case of Big League Chew that's passed its expiration date. Maybe he can be packaged with a couple of minor leaguers on the 40-man roster so the Phils can get something of value in return.
