Get Rollin' Along!

The Philadelphia Phillies have signed SS Jimmy Rollins to a 3-year, $33,000,000 contract.


Rollins (.268, 16 homers and 63 RBIs) added a small spark to a blatantly awful Phillies offense last season. Although the then-32-year-old did miss 34 games on the DL in 2011, he provided a very solid presence in the decrepit Philadelphia offense.

With this signing, the Shortstop market has been virtually wiped out, with Reyes, Rollins, and Scutaro all signed.

I like this move, it benefits the Phillies, giving them a quality shortstop at low risk, lower cost, and keeps the Phans happy.
