The Phillies are looking to add starting pitching, but aren't eager to guarantee anyone roster spot, according to David Murphy of the Philadelphia Daily News. Ideally, the Phillies would find an out-of-options pitcher or someone who has an out clause in his contract.
"If a player like that comes available, we'll have our eyes and ears open on it,'' Phillies GM Ruben Amaro Jr. said.
Amaro says pitching depth is a concern for the Phillies, so he's looking to find some. Boof Bonser and Dana Eveland are out-of-options arms the Phillies could consider. They haven't been linked to the recently-released Chad Gaudin so far.
The Phillies will also look for bullpen depth, writes Murphy. The Brewers recently released Scott Schoeneweis, though Amaro would probably not guarantee the left-hander a job.
They don’t have the worlds worst rotation depth. after after Blanton or Happ (whoever is in the 4th spot) its either Moyer or Kendrick.
They have Aumont
Carpenter
Duckworth
Maybe they should make a play on Gaudin as spot starter and reliever.
We want Pedro.
We should get Boof Bonser if not for the jokes alone.
