PHILLIES NEWS

Bad news for the Phils today. Gold glove and All-star centerfielder Aaron Rowand will not return to the Phillies next season. Today he signed a 5 year 60 million deal with the San Francisco Giants. So rather than helping the Phils get back to the playoffs next season he'll be standing in their way. On a side note this means that Shane Victorino will be the Phils starting centerfielder next season (remember Micheal Bourn was traded away to the Astros for Brad Lidge) which means it should be an interesting season.

yeah, well we already got Lidge to be our closer, so I don't know if they need to spend more money on the bullpen per say, but pitching in general is something they need to look at now and it is something they've reportedly said they will focus on now
