BY SCOTT LAUBERCLEARWATER, Fla. -- So, as you turn the corner and walk down the hallway that leads to the Phillies' clubhouse here at Bright House Field, the first thing you see is a sign on the door that indicates this is the spring home of the 2008 world champs.
Like we were going to forget that.
I got here only a little while ago, but as I walked upstairs to the executive office and past the security near the clubhouse, there's definitely a different vibe around the Complex. Everyone seems to be smiling a little brighter, with a little extra bounce in their step. Winning will do that, of course.
Chase Utley walked through that clubhouse door today after fielding light grounders for the first time. He reported no setbacks and generally repeated his comments from two weeks ago when he said it was "realistic" that he could be ready by Opening Night. Naturally, much will depend on how he progresses over the next seven weeks. Next up: He'll start swinging a bat, maybe later this week.
Please check back for more later.
