Happ Copyright 2009 605309 Andy Martino, of The Philadelphia Inquirer, reports Philadelphia Phillies manager Charlie Manuel indicated that he will likely continue to use SP J.A. Happ out of the bullpen during the World Series. http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/J.a._Happ/605309 605309 Tue, 27 Oct 2009 13:40:02 EDT kffl.com 24 days 18 hours 58 minutes http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/J.a._Happ/605309 The Sports Network reports Philadelphia Phillies SP J.A. Happ was named National League top rookie by the Major League Baseball Players Association. http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/J.a._Happ/604972 604972 Tue, 27 Oct 2009 8:40:02 EDT kffl.com 24 days 23 hours 58 minutes http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/J.a._Happ/604972 Todd Zolecki, of MLB.com, reports Philadelphia Phillies SP Pedro Martinez will receive a start in the World Series, but it is unknown which game his start will come in. Manager Charlie Manuel said he will more than likely use SPs Joe Blanton and J.A. Happ out of the bullpen for the start of the series. http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/J.a._Happ/599244 599244 Fri, 23 Oct 2009 18:28:02 EDT kffl.com 28 days 14 hours 10 minutes http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/J.a._Happ/599244 The Chicago Tribune reports Philadelphia Phillies SP J.A. Happ was named The Sporting News' 2009 National League Rookie of the Year. http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/J.a._Happ/593747 593747 Tue, 20 Oct 2009 15:12:02 EDT kffl.com 31 days 17 hours 26 minutes http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/J.a._Happ/593747 Philly.com is reporting that rookie pitcher J.A. Happ will remain in the bullpen for the remainder of the NLCS. The team will go with Joe Blanton as their Game 4 starter.

Our View: Happ hasn't been good in the postseason, either as a starter or reliever, so this isn't a big surprise. He will likely be used to get lefties out in this series, but it remains to be seen if he will be able to do so. http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/J.a._Happ/590162 590162 Sun, 18 Oct 2009 17:44:02 EDT fanball.com 33 days 14 hours 54 minutes http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/J.a._Happ/590162 Manager Charlie Manuel announced that Happ will remain in the bullpen for now, the Phillies' official site reports.

Our View: Blanton getting the call means that rookie standout J.A. Happ will remain in the bullpen. The Phils think they can ride Blanton's sinking fastball to a win, but the Dodgers have some potent lefty hitters that punnish right-handed pitching. Stay tuned. http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/J.a._Happ/588468 588468 Sat, 17 Oct 2009 18:56:02 EDT fanball.com 34 days 13 hours 42 minutes http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/J.a._Happ/588468 The Philadelphia Inquirer reports Philadelphia Phillies SP Joe Blanton and SP J.A.

Manager Charlie Manuel indicated that SPs Joe Blanton and J.A. Happ will be available out of the bullpen in Games 1 and 2. Pitching coach Rich Dubee said Martinez looked good during a two-inning simulated game Tuesday, Oct. 13. http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/J.a._Happ/583942 583942 Wed, 14 Oct 2009 22:44:02 EDT kffl.com 37 days 9 hours 54 minutes http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/J.a._Happ/583942 Phillies manager Charlie Manuel said Happ will be available out of the bullpen for the first two games of the NLCS, the Philadelphia Daily News reports.

Happ lasted only three innings in record low tempratures in Sunday's 6-5 win over the Rockies. He allowed five hits, two walks, three runs, and struck out four.

Our View: It certainly wasn't the performance that he had dreamt up, but his offense was able to back him up and keep him from taking the loss. Happ elected not to where long sleeves despite near-freezing tempratures. http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/J.a._Happ/579188 579188 Mon, 12 Oct 2009 9:12:02 EDT fanball.com 39 days 23 hours 26 minutes http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/J.a._Happ/579188 News: Phillies SP J.A.

He didn't last long, though, allowing three runs on five hits with two walks and four strikeouts in three innings.

Happ labored through a 35-pitch inning and took a 3-1 lead over the Phillies after three. http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/J.a._Happ/578724 578724 Sun, 11 Oct 2009 23:40:01 EDT yahoo.com 40 days 8 hours 58 minutes http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/J.a._Happ/578724 Manager Charlie Manuel hinted that Joe Blanton could possibly be used in a save situation, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer. "We want somebody when we get into the seventh inning, we want to be able to go through the seventh, eighth, ninth inning with Blanton, Madson, Lidge. Might not be in that order.."

Our View: Blanton was the Phillies No. 3 starter for most of the season, but J.A. Happ's emergence has gotten Manuel's confidence. We would be surprised to see him in a one-run save situation, but it remains a possibility. http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/J.a._Happ/578636 578636 Sun, 11 Oct 2009 22:36:02 EDT fanball.com 40 days 10 hours 2 minutes http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/J.a._Happ/578636 News: The cold and snow in Colorado scrapped plans for Pedro Martinez's first postseason start in five years. Game 3 of the Philadelphia-Colorado playoff series was postponed a day because of weather Saturday better suited for cross-country skiing. About an hour before the scheduled start it was 24 degrees. The delay prompted a pitching switch by the Phillies, with left-handerJ.A. Happ going to the mound Sunday instead of the 37-year-old Martinez.
