J.C. Romero

The Phillies made two roster moves Friday afternoon. Pitcher Roy Oswalt was placed on the 15-day DL. Scott Mathieson has been called up from triple-A Lehigh Valley to fill Oswalt’s spot. Phils catcher Brian Schneider was also activated from the........

The Phillies' clubhouse at Bright House Field was absolutely jammed with reporters today, including tons of national media members...to name a few...the MLB Network, Buster Olney (ESPN Baseball Insider), Jayson Stark (ESPN.com senior writer), Seth...
