Liberty Ball

Jim Salisbury at the Philadelphia Inquirer wrote an article dealing with with future of the Phillies GM.  He comments on how Gillick’s contract is up this fall and he will probably retire.  Meanwhile, the Yankees are struggling and that means that Cashman’s run there might come to an end.  Apparently Cashman liked Philly when he was looking for a job when he was in between contracts before.  Personally I can’t see the higher-ups getting Cashman to run the team.  I do like that he is starting to develop prospects rather than buy free agents, but I don’t see the ownership letting him spend Yankee type money for this team.
