Will the Philadelphia Flyers Have Enough on D?

Coburn will now face the opponents’ top lines each night while at the same time be expected to step up offensively with Carle in Tampa Bay. Coburn had nine goals and 36 points in his first full season as a Flyer in 2007-08, but he hasn’t really come close to that since – especially in the last three seasons. Philly didn’t need Coburn to do much on the offensive end when Pronger and Carle were on the team, but it needs him now.

The Wire Troll: Danny Valencia’s Return to the Show

The kid has barely had time to catch his breath since his recall from Double-A and all he’s done so far is a two-hit (including a triple and run) debut Thursday, a two-homer, four-RBI game Friday, and his first double (plus another run and ribbie) Saturday. What? No steals yet? The stiff! Kidding aside, it’s small wonder this dude has been flying off the wire – especially since he may qualify at both 3B and SS.

Santiago Casilla’s Struggles

Casilla was absolutely lights out in a setup role in 2010 and 2011, but he can’t seem to stop servering up dingers this year. After giving up a combined three homers in 107 IP over the last two years, he’s been burned for seven long balls in just 40 innings this year (most recently serving up a go-ahead homer in extra innings in a July 30 loss). Ugh.
