NEW YORK - Phillies general manager Ruben Amaro Jr. apologized Tuesday for comments critical of the team's fans, citing a poor choice of words in explaining the organization's conservative process with its top minor-league pitching prospects.
In an interview with CSNPhilly.com, Amaro said in response to a question about fans who want the Phillies to more aggressively promote their prospects: "They don't understand the game. They don't understand the process.
"There's a process," he continued. "And then they bitch and complain because we don't have a plan. There's a plan in place and we're sticking with the plan.
