PhoulBallz Interview: 2012 Draft Pick Tim Carver

By
One of the Phillies' newest farmhands is 23-year-old Tim Carver, who was drafted in the 19th round this year, out of the University of Arkansas. Signed by the Phillies this past week, Carver was immediately assigned to the Class A Lakewood BlueClaws, who have had considerable offensive concerns from Carver's main position, shortstop, all season long. Carver made his professional debut on Friday as the 'Claws' lead-off man.

A native of Fayetteville, AR, Carver is a great defender in the middle infield with exceptional range and a strong arm. Additionally, the 6-foot tall 185-pounder hit .299 this season, while hitting 2 homers, driving in 30 runs and stealing 15 bases with the Razorbacks'. His 79 hits led the team this year.

This weekend, I spoke with the righty hitting Carver, who reached base three times in his first professional contest, singling in his initial at bat and walking twice. Check out the media player below to hear that full interview.

Watch Out For the Bat Boy

Stop ice grillin' the Phillies players, bat boy. I am watching YOU. I don't know what is on your mind, bat boy, but don't even think about doing something slick.

The World Champs should be cautious around this kid. He could be dangerous. ------------------------------------------- Follow PhoulBallz.com on Twitter HERE !

All I Want For "the Holidays" is the MLB Network

By
Ladies and gentlemen, there are 5 days left till Hannukah, 9 days left till Christmas and 16 days left till the premiere of the MLB Network. It's about time. Those of you that enjoy MLB.com's original programming, it may be a while till your favorite hosts appear on The MLB Network. The announced TV schedule is not similar to MLB.com's online schedule. MLB.com's studios are in NYC, and the MLB Network's studios will be in Secaucus NJ...so that's another bump in the road. Cross overs, while possible, might be less likely. The great internet programming on MLB.com includes morning and afternoon talk shows, a midday fantasy advice call-in show, a lunch time talk show and variety half hour formatted show, and of course the nightly wrap up, as well as other original programming that focuses more on the history of the game. MLB.com's programming started as streaming radio shows, then upgraded to a visual medium when video feeds were provided for the same sho...
