Newsbreakers

November 1, 2009

Chan Ho Park was unavailable in Game 3 due to the flu and is questionable for Game 4.

Our View:

Park has been a decent option out of the bullpen for the Phillies, but has not done very well in the playoffs. He has allowed three runs in 3.2 innings of work.

October 12, 2009

Phillies' beat writer Andy Martino is reporting on Twitter that reliever Chan Ho Park threw a successful bullpen on Monday. Park could be ready for the NLCS if the Phillies advance.

Our View:

Park could be a very nice addition to the bullpen for the next round if he is healthy, as he has really flourished in a relief role this season. They have to finish off the Rockies first, but look for Park to suit up next round if they do.

October 1, 2009

Chan Ho Park (hamstring) is in danger of being shut down, according to MLB.com's Todd Zolecki.

Our View:

He suffered a setback in his rehab on Thursday, aggravating the injury. He will almost certainly not be on the Phillies' divisional series roster, and obviously, that would put him in grave danger of missing out on both any potential NLCS or World Series play.

September 26, 2009

According to the Willmington News Journal, Chan Ho Park threw a 30-pitch bullpen session Saturday to test his injured hamstring.

Our View:

He'll have another session on Monday and be reevaluated after. Park won't return for the regular season, but if he improves enough over the next week he could be available to pitch out of the bullpen for the Division Series.

September 17, 2009

According to the Philadelphia Inquirer, reliever Chan Ho Park is out indefinitely with a pulled hamstring.

Our View:

Manager Charlie Manuel did not seem optimistic, saying "Yeah, he's out for a while. I'm very concerned about him, because he pulled it pretty good." Park was miserable as a starter, but spot on out of the pen since the All Star Break, posting a 1.93 ERA. This is yet another name on the long list of bullpen injuries for the Phillies this season.

June 28, 2009

According to the Philadelphia Inquirer, Chan Ho Park will not miss any time after being hit by a comebacker in Friday's game.

Our View:

Park has a large bruise on his knee and appeared to be in a significant amount of pain after being hit, but the gutsy starter says he's good to go. Park still doesn't hold much fantasy value with his 6.18 ERA.

June 16, 2009

Chan Ho Park says he is finally feeling comfortable in the Phillies bullpen according to MLB.com.

Our View:

Park has settled down since getting off to a rocky start in the Phils pen after getting removed from the rotation. In his last four appearances, he has surrendered only one unearned run while striking out eight and picking up two wins.

May 12, 2009

Chan Ho Park had his second straight solid outing on Tuesday against the Dodgers. He held hitters to just two runs on seven hits and no walks over six innings and earned his first victory of the season with a 5-3 Phillies' win.

Our View:

It's nice to get games like this out of your fifth starter, but Park will likely have many more poor outings than effective ones this season and doesn't hold much fantasy value outside of NL-only leagues.

May 6, 2009

Chan Ho Park looked very good as the Phillies fell 1-0 to the Mets on Wednesday. He allowed just one hit, two walks, and no runs in six innings of work. He struck out five on the night.

Our View:

This was Park's best outing by a long shot, and he likely needed it to keep his spot in the rotation. Park entered the game with an 8.57 ERA and 1.68 WHIP through five appearances this season. Expect him to remain the club's No. 5 starter for now.

May 6, 2009

Chan Ho Park is on thin ice and his next start could be critical as to whether he remains in the Phillies' rotation, according to MLB.com. Skipper Charlie Manuel said, "I am not saying it is life or death, but it is important that he starts pitching better."

Our View:

Park is yet to win over four starts this season, and holds a poor 8.57 ERA and 1.86 WHIP over 21 innings. J.A. Happ would be a top candidate to replace him in the rotation if Park loses his spot.

May 2, 2009

Chan Ho Park was rocked for seven runs over a mere 4.2 innings of work Friday, but Phillies' skipper Charlie Manuel noted that Park is likely to make his next scheduled start, according to MLB.com. Manuel said, "Yeah, more than likely, he is going to make his next start."

Our View:

J.A. Happ would be the likely replacement if Park is yanked from the rotation. Park should not be employed in fantasy lineups as he is yet to claim a win over four starts, and holds a poor 8.57 ERA and 1.86 WHIP.

May 1, 2009

Chan Ho Park was not very good on Friday against the Mets, allowing seven runs in just 4.2 innings. He walked six and struck out just one.

Our View:

Park can't afford to walk six hitters in 4.2 innings, as his stuff just isn't good enough to work out of those jams. If he can't get it under control, he has no fantasy value. Right now he is not even a good option in NL-only leagues.

March 31, 2009

Chan Ho Park has been named the fifth starter in the Phillies' rotation, according to MLB.com.

Our View:

Park beat out J.A. Happ for the job. The 35-year-old vet fared well in spring action, and is worth a look for NL-only leagues with the defending champs.

March 30, 2009

Chan Ho Park had another strong start as the Phillies beat the Astros 13-3 on Monday. In 5.2 innings of work he struck out seven and allowed six hits, one walk, and one earned run.

Our View:

Park seems to have a spot in the rotation locked down, especially with Kyle Kendrick now in the minors. Four of his five appearances this spring have come as a starter and he currently holds a 2.53 ERA. He won't be much help in terms of WHIP, and his tendency to give up the long ball will likely keep him in trouble most of the season. He's a risky pick in most formats, but does have some upside.

March 24, 2009

Chan Ho Park worked four innings and struck out seven batters in Tuesday's outing against the Blue Jays. He allowed four hits (three doubles) and three runs. Park was pushed back from his previous start due to a sore hamstring.

Our View:

It wasn't Park's sharpest outing of the spring, but he remains firmly in the mix for the No. 5 spot in the rotation. J.A. Happ has also pitched well, and this competition could go down to the wire.

March 21, 2009

Chan Ho Park was scratched from his start today due to a sore hamstring, and is now expected to pitch Tuesday against the Blue Jays, according to the Philadelphia Daily News. He threw a bullpen session instead, and noted that he felt fine.

Our View:

Park remains in the running for a spot in the Phillies' rotation. He has fared well so far with a 1.54 ERA over three outings, and the 35-year-old vet is worth a look as a flier for NL-only leagues.

March 20, 2009

Chan Ho Park is nursing a sore hamstring, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer.

Our View:

The 35-year-old vet still expects to make his scheduled start Saturday. Park, who is competing for a spot in the rotation, holds a 1.54 ERA over three spring appearances.

March 15, 2009

Chan Ho Park made the most out of his second start this spring as he struck out six Cardinals in 4.2 shutout innings. He allowed three hits and walked none in the effort.

Our View:

With Kyle Kendrick struggling and drawing the ire of his pitching coach, Park's chances of being the fifth starter for the Phillies this season are getting better all the time. He has 11 strikeouts and allowed just two runs in 11.2 innings this spring.

February 4, 2009

MLB.com reports that the Phillies would prefer to use Chan Ho Park in a long-relief role. They signed him a month ago stating that he would be given a shot at the starting rotation. However, he will have to clearly outpitch Kyle Kendrick, J.A. Happ, and Carlos Carrasco to earn the job.

Our View:

Park recently removed himself from the World Baseball Classic in order to be a full participant in spring training. He certainly wants to be a starter, but he threw well out of the bullpen last season. He made just five starts in his 54 appearances last season and posted a 3.40 ERA and 1.40 WHIP. He threw a total of only 95.1 innings.

January 13, 2009

New Phillies hurler Chan Ho Park has decided to quit the South Korean national baseball team, and will not play in the World Baseball Classic, according to the AP.

Our View:

Park wants to start with the Phillies, and says he wants to be in spring training with them to do everything he can to secure a spot. He reportedly broke into tears at the announcement.

January 6, 2009

The Phillies finalized their $2.5 million, one-year contract with Chan Ho Park Tuesday, according to the Associated Press.

Our View:

The 35-year-old vet could compete with Kyle Kendrick, J.A. Happ and prospect Carlos Carrasco for the fifth spot in the rotation. He could also provide depth out of the bullpen as a reliever.
