Happ to stay in Phillies' rotation, but will Moyer?
Circling The Bases — ... of the Rockies last night, general manager Ruben Amaro Jr. made it very clear this morning that the 26-year-old rookie will remain in the Phillies' rotation despite Pedro Martinez's impending arrival. "Happ's not going anywhere," Amaro said. "He's not going out of the rotation. He deserves to stay in the rotation. He has pitched very well. He's one of our most effective starters." Happ is "not going anywhere" and Cole Hamels, Cliff Lee, and Joe Blanton are obviously safe, so that would seemingly mean that a) Jamie Moyer will lose his spot to Martinez after posting a 5.55 ...

According to MLB’s Todd Zolecki, who spoke with Phils GM Ruben Amaro, Happ isn’t going anywhere. "Happ's not going ...

Round 'em Up: Monday 8.10.09
Milwaukee Brewers Blog - Bernie's Crew — ... you deny it first and get caught. David Eckstein rejected a trade to a contender because he wishes to stay in San Diego and mentor the young players in the organization.  I do not much like Eckstein as a player, but that is an undeniably classy thing for a player to do.  After something like that, it is obvious that Eckstein will eventually find a job in coaching.  He loves mentoring players as much as playing. The Phillies may consider a six-man rotation.  That would be an entertaining experiment. B.J. Upton was ...
