Liberty Ball

In the Phillies rotation, Jon Lieber may be the odd man out.  He’s been the subject of trade rumors all winter but with pitchers and catchers reporting to camp, Lieber was there with his knew ride and he said it would be business as usual.  Lieber had a rough 2006 season so he has a lot to prove, it might just be with another team.

His weight had become an issue by year end so it’d be nice if he got that under control.  PECOTA has him across the board but his weighted mean average is an unflattering 1.30 WHIP with a 4.51 ERA.  As always, anything can happen this spring though, which is why it’s such a great time of year.
