If Pat Burrell can't come to a contract agreement with the Philadelphia Phillies and departs via free agency, general manager Ruben Amaro Jr. should give some thought to calling Jim Edmonds. Before you start screaming that a 38-year-old lefthanded hitter is the last thing the Phillies need, consider this he's about to join a club that includes Mike Schmidt and Willie Mays according to the Philadelphia Inquirer. Edmonds apparently is willing to sign a one-year deal, which should be of major appeal to the Phillies, who have big paydays scheduled for Ryan Howard and Cole Hamels via arbitration. Could Edmonds solve Philly's outfield issues? - Sports Rumors - MLB - Yahoo! Sports
I don't want Jim Edmonds...not at this point in his career...this is giving me PHLASH backs of Greg Jeffries...*shudder*
