Good morning.Busy day so far here at the Complex. Well, not really. It's "Photo Day" for the Phillies, who took turns mugging for the cameras. But there was still plenty of time to hold a "draft" for the team's annual golf tournament, which will occur Tuesday. Catching instructor Mick Billmeyer (left) revealed the obviously well-thought-out strategy for picking his team. Broadcaster Chris Wheeler, supposedly a strong golfer, was his first pick. Then, Billmeyer chose minor-league instructor Jerry Martin because he likes to drink and tell jokes. With his third pick, he tabbed team president David Montgomery. Why? "I'm looking for a two-year deal," Billmeyer cracked.
It was no surprise to Brett Myers that pitching coach Rich Dubee picked phenoms Cole Hamels and Scott Mathieson, two of the best young arms in the organization. "Dubee had to take all his sons," Myers said.Right now, the Phillies are working out in the sunshine, and I'm about to go watch. Check in later for more.
