--
Rollins really lost leverage when every team that needed a shortstop traded/signed one and he was the last guy out on the market.

I wonder how much it is for.

$11 mil per season

Good signing then by the Phillies considering what he was asking for. At least they didnt waste Jose Reyes money on him.

This was a good signing for the Phills. I know alot of Philly phans agree that Rollins is a definite health risk, but when he's on, man he is one heck of leader in the clubhouse! Also, the biggest problem last year was stability in our bats, and if anybody can help it would be a veteran like JRoll. Picking up relievers was a big need, but now we need to focus on strong bats that can back up a rotation that can hold teams to 1-3 runs a game. Good job RA jr!
