Chris Roberson Sent to Baltimore
Many Philly fans thought Chris Roberson was a legit major league caliber outfielder. I was not one of them. The Phillies apparently thought so highly of him, they dealt him to the Baltimore Orioles for... wait for it... cash!
Also, Pete Leforest was outrighted to triple-A Lehigh Valley but will get a trip to Clearwater as a non-roster invitee. Leforest shall make a nice IronPig.
DON'T FORGET TO BRING YOUR SUNGLASSES, CHRIS.

This makes me wonder who will be the first outfielder brought up when Victorino tears a hammy.
Chris Snelling I guess?

Bravo Phillies...Bravo! Another stellar offseason move! This might just me the move to put us over the top. Forget washed up Brad Lidge or Geoff Jenkins. Forget Durbin...both of em'. Forget our knew token asian player So Taguchi forget all that. We got CASH!! Thats right American dollars folks! Cash they will most certainly be used to get a legit set-up man or an actual third baseman that can you know...play third base. Or maybe they'll use the money to get us a starter to replace that waste of life Adam Eaton. Man I haven't been this excited since that fart I let lose 15 minutes ago!! GO PHILLS!!!!

Leforest made my blood pressure explode every time he was up to pinch hit instead of Tad, cant wait to see him at Coke Field.
