LAS VEGAS -- It's just past lunchtime in America's Playground, and throughout the morning, we have spotted most GMs and even a few managers in the lobby or the casino or somewhere in the Bellagio.
No luck, though, finding any Phillies execs.
Were they testing out championship ring designs? Were they holed up in their suites, watching the World Series DVD? No, as it turns out, they were meeting all morning. Hopefully, we'll find out something about those meetings when we get access to Ruben Amaro Jr. at about 4:30 p.m., Pacific Time. About 45 minutes ago, walking through the casino, I ran into Charlie Manuel, assistant GMs Benny Looper and Chuck LaMar, newly hired scout Howie Freiling, scout Gordon Lakey and even Pat Gillick. The retired GM simply couldn't stay away, although he was talking more about the Barry Manilow show playing on the Strip than the Phillies' plans for dealing with Jamie Moyer.
Anyway, when we speak to Amaro, we'll try to pin down the status of Manuel's contract, his thoughts on Jason Donald (trade chip or future Phillie), Moyer's situation and more. So, check back for that later tonight.
