The Phillies sent outfielder Chris Roberson to the Orioles today for cash considerations. The 28-year-old Roberson hit .286 in 28 at bats over 28 games last season. My gut tells me that the Phillies are trying to open up some cap room for a big acquisition, but my brain is telling me this is likely just penny-pinching. Roberson brought speed and depth to the outfield and the lineup, and I hope that this move leads to something better.
In other news, catcher Pete LaForest has been sent down to AAA Lehigh Valley. Not much of a suprise here.
