My Fellow Phans,
I know it’s been awhile since we last spoke, but there hasn’t been much to discuss, outside of the historical Cliff Lee signing.
However, it is my pleasure to say that Philadelphia seems to become a place where players want to play and some will even take paycuts to come here. First, it was Roy Halladay last offseason, Cliff Lee joined him this offseason, and the newest member of this club, is left hander J.C. Romero.
After the Dennys Reyes deal fell through, the Phillies needed a veteran left handed in the pen and with Romero stating that he would take a paycut to come back to the Phillies, it seemed like a perfect fit. Sounds familiar, aye? Anyhoo, Romero is now a member of the Phillies for next season and it is safe to assume that he will take a paycut in this deal with details not announced yet.
I am in full support of this deal. Romero is a quality pitcher despite the fact that he often has control issues. The Phillies needed a veteran lefthander in the pen and Romero is comfortable being here so they are a perfect match. I know some of you are against this deal, but look at it logically. He fills a need that we have and that can only help us in the end.
Throw in the fact that Romero has a very competitive nature which can always help to fire a team up at times.
Until we meet again Phillies Fans; Happy Readings and Go Phillies!
PS: I am still looking for ideas on segments to cover concerning the Phillies this offseason, so if you have any suggestions, let me know!
