Liberty Ball

While I hate to see an exciting game like Michael Bourn in a deal and I know Mike Costanzo was considered a top prospect at one point but Brad Lidge is a bona fide stud on the mound.  I know he comes with his baggage but the benefit is two fold.  First, we get a top notch reliever who will hopefully benefit from a change of scenery AND it allows Bret Myers to resume his duties as a starter.

The side effect of all this is, the Phillies will now be in the market for a centerfielder.  Snagging back Aaron Rowand would be nice but there’s a few nice options this year at centerfield.
