According to multiple MLB sources The World Champion Phillies may be interested in signing right-handed hitter Nomar Garciaparra if the infielder is willing to continue his career. Garciaparra who played with the Dodgers last season hit .264 and tallied 8 homeruns total with 25 RBI’s in his plate appearances off the bench.
The Phillies lefthanded hitting brigade currently includes Geoff Jenkins, Matt Stairs and Greg Dobbs, but sources say the Phillies are currently in need of a righthanded bat to stablize the offense in the late stages of a game.
Ken Rosenthal of Fox Sports is reporting that Nomar would see a dramatic paycut if he does indeed sign with the Phillies. Rosenthal also reports that the Phillies interest in right-handed pitcher Derek Lowe was more serious before they signed Ibanez.
The Phillies are also showing interest in outfielder Gabe Kapler as a potential righthanded bat. No offers have been made as of yet, but a few could come very soon if either player does show interest.
NO MATTER WHOM THE PHILLIES SIGN THEY WILL BE THE 2009 WORLD CHAMPIONS OF BASEBALL. I PREDICTED THIS LAST FEBRUARY AND I SHALL AGAIN BE CORRECT!!! I HAVE BEEN A PHILLIES FAN FOR 49 YEARS!!!!!!!
Alphonse you are the man! I will never forget last season as long as I live! With that being said, the Phillies need to be careful not to make TOO many changes since last year.
Ribbie, Nomar is roman spelled backwards. His father was named Roman. Alphonse, u indeed are the man. Go Eagles, keep the championships a comin!
