The pitching market is weak this off season and Mr. Gillick in effect, picked up a solid No. 2 starter in this transaction by moving Myers back into the rotation. I think signing Romero was worthwhile. It's hard to view it as an overpayment because as a ground ball pitcher he has more value to the Phillies than most clubs because of the park. He wouldn't be worth that much to the Mets, Giants, Dodgers, A's etc. since a fly ball pitcher has room to work--they don't have that in Philadelphia. So far, so good. I wouldn't mind a better bat at third. If the Yankees retain A-Rod I wonder if Wilson Betemit might come available? I doubt Lowell is an option for Gillick because he's looking for four years. Besides, I think Rodriguez back to the Yankees will pressure Epstein to offer Lowell a fourth year. Best Regards John I like the Lidge trade since Gillick addressed two needs with it.
