As the Phillies slowly become the Orioles, are they emulating the right team?
First Andy MacPhail snuck past security, and since he managed to find a wrist band that gets him access to the back rooms, he nabbed a couple for his buddies Joe Jordan, Scott Proefrock, Matt Klentak and Ned Rice, all of whom he knew from his time as team president of the Orioles.
Now, the party is starting to include fringe players this crew liked back from back in their Baltimore days. David Lough got a minor league deal just days ago, deepening the Phillies' options in the outfield and getting a free place to stay in Clearwater for a couple of weeks this spring.
