Fri, 20 Jan 2012 13:58:01 -0800 Philadelphia Phillies 1B Jim Thome is preparing to play some first base at the start of the season with 1B Ryan Howard (Achilles') injured, and Thome has incorporated pilates and yoga to his offseason routine to get his body in shape. "Honestly, I don't know how my back is going to react, because I haven't played (first base) in seven years," Thome said. "That's going to be a phase that I'll have to adjust to." He has fielded grounders two to three times a week this winter.
Wed, 18 Jan 2012 22:31:18 -0800 Philadelphia Phillies general manager Ruben Amaro Jr. said Wednesday, Jan. 18, that 3B Ty Wigginton will start at first base to open the season, with 1B Jim Thome serving as his backup. 1B Ryan Howard (Achilles') is recovering from surgery, and isn't expected to be ready to play until around Memorial Day.

"This deal was about getting an opportunity to win," Thome said. "If I'm a pinch-hitter, if I play first base, whatever (manager) Charlie Manuel decides. At 41 years old, you don't think you're going to play forever. To get that opportunity to come here, it was a no-brainer. I was excited."
