The Phillies signed Jamie Moyer for two more years and they’ll play him $10.5 million over the life of the contract. When this thing expires, Moyer will be just short of 46 years old (unless the Phillies are in the World Series, then he might be playing still). I have mixed feelings about this deal. That seems like a lot of money to pay someone pushing 44 but left handers don’t grow on trees. And it’s not like Moyer is a power pitcher who could lose his stuff. He did have a pretty good run with the Phillies in September so if he can duplicate, we might have a bargain on our hands.

But he’d only be a back end of the rotation guy. The Phillies really should go after at least one fairly solid starter ( maybe Schmidt or Mulder?)

That was a silly suggestion. Mark Mulder is washed up, injury risk, huge question mark! Jason Schmidt’s career numbers are almost identical to Mr. Randy Wolf’s…and he can most likely be had cheaper! Do your homework Zachary.
