Philadelphia Phillies

The Sports Prof has a nice postmortem and look ahead for the Phillies. The nucleus of Rollins, Utley and Howard has to be exciting for Phillies fans to look forward to.

The Phillies will have some money to spend this off-season and it will be interesting to see how they send it. I would look into approaching the Yankees for Mike Mussina if were the GM because Mussina is toast in New York but could be rejuvenated if he went to the NL (think of Bronson Arroyo's first year in Cincinnati). Mussina would only cost $11 million in 2008 and he's from Pennsylvania - so he could waive his no-trade clause.
