One Sentence Summary: The Phillies signed a pair of sluggers and overall the team enjoyed a successful week of spring training baseball.
What It Means: It was a lost week for The Phillies Room as a vicious flu bug took hold on Sunday afternoon and finally seemed to be tapering off a week later. I slept through entire games, went a few days without solid foods and I only vaguely recall select sound bites from the Schwarber and Castellanos introductory press conferences. If this were the regular season, I'd publish a rapid fire series of seven posts to catch up. But since these are exhibition games, I'm going to cheat and catch up with one massive post. Assuming I still feel good tomorrow, regular game posts should resume.
What Happened: My attention span during the week was sporadic and short, but I recall Matt Vierling, Seranthony Dominguez and Mickey Moniak all having great performances. Moniak finds himself with the team-lead with three home runs. The biggest disappointment from the week was the loss of Phillies Room Favorite Luke Williams to the Giants.
