The Philadelphia Phillies are moving Chan Ho Park to their bullpen in an attempt to shake up their struggling rotation. Phillies manager Charlie Manuel plans to start left-hander J.A. Happ in Park's place on Saturday against the New York Yankees.

i have banked happ for about a month, so i'm excited that what i thought was going to happen is happening. sounds like i am talking out of both sides of my mouth, but it is frustrating to see they are finally giving happ a chance, but then he has to start against the yankees! almost like they are setting him up to fail. he's been really good out of the bullpen, lets see what (happ)ens. just glad to see the chuck and duck end with chan ho puke

Chan Ho, not so much Chin Ho Kelly probably had a better fast ball.

"And the great Chin Ho Kelly strikes again!"

I don't know. 0-5 with a 6.31 era are sweet numbers but I'm not sure if he is grabbing the bull by the horns down at AAA.

Though his k/9 and bb/9 are actually good, so gekko might be interested:P

Stow him away in the minors till next June?

Start him right away?

A? AA? AAA?

IF he gets his bonus, which I think he will, then really, does super 2 play any part? barring injury, i would expect him up earlier than next june.
