Halladay adjusts mechanics

According to CSNPhilly.com, Phillies starting pitcher Roy Halladay has tweaked his mechanics in the offseason in an effort to preserve his shoulder. The 35-year-old missed about six weeks last summer because of a strained right lat muscle, and his velocity was down all season. “He’s doing real well,” general manager Ruben Amaro Jr. said. "[Pitching coach Rich Dubee] saw him throw. He feels good. His mechanics look good. Everything is positive. He’s getting loose faster than in the past.”
