Player Notes

January 20, 2010
Brad Lidge (knee/elbow) said he wants to be ready by the start of the 2010 season and thinks that he can be, according to the Philadelphia Daily News.

Our View:This is nice to hear, though it's still very tough to tell at this point whether or not that goal is realistic, as Lidge is coming off both elbow and knee surgeries. We should know more once spring training rolls around.

January 14, 2010
Updating a report from earlier today, the Philadelphia Daily News describes Brad Lidge's knee surgery as "minor" and says that he could begin a throwing program in about 10 days.

Our View:Lidge's status for Opening Day is still up in the air, though he's not expected to be out too much longer after that. Still, you can't feel too comfortable about a closer who posted a 7.21 ERA the previous season and is coming off surgeries to both his elbow and knee.

January 14, 2010
Brad Lidge, who had surgery performed on his elbow following the end of the season in November, has also underwent arthroscopic knee surgery, according to Fox Sports' Jon Morosi.

Our View:The Phillies are hoping that Lidge will be ready by the start of the upcoming season, although he very well may be sidelined for at least the first few weeks. Lidge already has enough question marks as is after his rollercoaster year last season, and along with major health concerns, he'll be one of the shakier fantasy closers heading into next season. Look for Ryan Madson to open as Philly's closer if Lidge isn't ready initially, though the team could also pursue a free agent in the coming weeks.

December 19, 2009
The Phillies are aiming to improve their bullpen for 2010, according to MLB.com.

Our View:Closer Brad Lidge and lefty J.C. Romero are recovering from elbow surgeries, and neither may be ready for opening day. GM Ruben Amaro Jr. noted that the club is getting closer on a couple of fronts, but nothing is a done deal. Fernando Rodney has been among the top relievers on the market that the Phillies are interested in acquiring.

November 7, 2009
According to the Twitter page of Phillies' beat writer Scott Lauber, closer Brad Lidge will have surgery on Wednesday to remove a loose body from his right elbow. Lidge will also have his right flexor tendon evaluated at that time.

Our View:The Phillies aren't too concerned about this procedure, as it is a fairly minor operation. The flexor tendon could be the bigger worry here, but overall this doesn't figure to be a huge deal.
