With the way Mike Lowell played during the World Series, dont be surprised if the Red Sox bring him back. He is one name that the Phillies seem to be interested in bringing in, but after winning the MVP of the World Series Sunday Night, I think the Sox realize how valuable a guy like Lowell is compared to A-Rod.
The Phillies also seem to be on the outside looking in on J.C. Romero. Many Phillies scribes seemed to think this was going to bea slam dunk that he came back. But Romero knows what a lefty on the FA market this season is worth, loyalty goes nowhere in this business.
I am not very optmistic that the Phillies are going to be able to make the moves needed this offseason to better themselves, and losing Lowell from the FA market would be a blow, cause the pickings at 3B arent great and A-Rod aint coming here.
My feelings are the Phillies will pull off some sort of trade that they will try to spin off as "this guys if he plays everyday will be able to do this...." Kind of like, "If Wes Helms plays everyday he might win the MVP" that they tried to convince us of last offseason.
Also, for some reason, the name Al Reyes keeps jumping into my head, I am not feeling him at all, but thats the Phillies...a 35 year old guy who closed on a bad team and make him the set-up guy...but then he comes here and goes from set-up to mop-up, just my hunch.
Talk to you on the radio...
