« Phillies re-sign Chris Leroux to minor league deal | Main
For a while there, Phillies fans became accustomed to big off-season moves. Jim Thome, Cliff Lee, Roy Halladay, and even Brad Lidge were big named, high priced pick-ups made to try and contend immediately. The Phillies flexed their financial muscle to make fast improvements to the team. The Phillies are absolutely capable of still doing those types of moves, if they wanted to, but frankly it makes no sense right now. The Phillies are in the midst of a rebuild, coming off of a 99 loss season that saw them finish with the worst record in the game.
