Brett Myers allowed just one run on 3 hits in 4 innings of work, while Jimmy Rollins, Jayson Werth, and Raul Ibanez each collected 2 hits as the Phils knocked off the Toronto Blue Jays 9-1. In other news Brett Myers was announced as the Phils opening day starter, since Cole Hamels just won't quite be ready in time. Also in a somewhat surprise move the Phils released Geoff Jenkins. At 35 years old, he spent a good bit of last on the DL, and didn't seem to have much left in the tank, save for one huge hit. So for now, the Phils bench is Matt Stairs, Greg Dobbs, Eric Bruntlett, Chris Coste, and for now anyway, Miguel Cairo. The Phils are still shopping though for a righthanded bat to add to their bench, and have reportedly contacted agent of Gary Sheffield, recently released by the Tigers, with 499 career homers in a once stellar career now tarnished by accusations of steroid use. He looked pretty washed up himself at times, last season, but it could interesting to have him around.
