theeagleman5 331 Report post Posted April 26, 2011 Injuries in the Phila. Phillies bullpen have necessitated bringing up 3 guys from AAA Lehigh Valley and the trickle down effect has our guy Chance Chapman PROMOTED TO AAA Lehigh Valley for the first time!!!... ....he had a tough first outing giving up 3 runs (only 1 earned) but last night came in and pitched 1.1 scoreless innings....so Chappy is now an Iron Pig and they play out of Allentown, PA about 2 hrs north of Philly....TheEagleman will keep a watch on his progress....he could go back down when and if the Phillies bullpen gets healthy....
