Jayson Stark of ESPN.com joined Mike Gill on The Sports Bash today during the 5th anniversary celebration. Stark talked about Chase Utley and his healthy heading into the season. While he is working his way back completely from a knee ailment, Stark doesn't believe he'll ever be 100% again
Hamels is looking for "elite money" according to his agent, John Boggs. (GETTY IMAGES) Hamels Contract Situation Up in the Air
Cole Hamels has signed for one more year at $15 million. That would seem like a good thing. That’s just the feeling on the surface. Look for things to take a turn south if something doesn’t get done before the season begins.

The Phillies and Cole Hamels have come to terms on a one-year, $15 million contract, according to a tweet from CSBSports.com’s Jon Heyman. A source close to Hamels tells me he’s on vacation in Hawaii, so I guess we’ll have to hear from him later on the situation. But, what has bee
Brayden Schenn lit the lamp for the first time in his career and on NHL's biggest stage. (Getty Images) Thoughts from the Winter Classic
The Philadelphia Flyers opened up a 2-0 lead on the New York Rangers, but could not hold on as the visitors scored three unanswered to win the Winter Classic, 3-2. Here are some thoughts from today's Bridgestone Winter Classic from Citizens Bank Park:

Getty Images Ryan Madson Declines Arbitration with Phillies
The Buzz around Dallas had been that Ryan Madson might be inclined to accept arbitration with the Phillies because the market for closers was thinning out. Not when Scott Boras is your agent.

The Phillies offered Raul Ibanez arbitration. But what does it mean? (Getty Images) Phillies Offer Arbitration to Madson, Rollins, Ibanez
In a bit of a head scratching move, the Phillies have offered salary arbitration to Raul Ibanez, meaning if he accepts, he could actually make more than the $12 million he made in 2011.
It was a foregone conclusion the Phillies would offer it to Jimmy Rollins and Ryan Madson. With the Jonathan Papelbon signing, the Phillies lose a first-round draft pick, but when Madson signs elsewhere, they will recoup one. Same goes for Jimmy; if he moves on, the Phillies get a pick either in the first round, or a sandwich pick.
The Ibanez offering, however, comes out of left field. Perhaps they do look at him as a fallback option if they can't come to terms with another outfielder they are squiring on the open market. And perhaps Ibanez has already told the Phillies he will decline the option anyway, even if they do offer it. In that case, he's doing the Phils a solid, and they will receive a supplemental pick when he goes elsewhere.
