Gillick Making Up for Lost Time
Having neglected the Phillies bullpen all winter long and into the spring, Phillies general manager Pat Gillick has spent the past few days playing catch-up. On Thursday, the Phillies acquired Francisco Rosario from the Blue Jays in exchange for cash considerations, and on Friday, the team signed recently released Rick Bauer.
In today's local papers, Gillick stated that the next relief pitcher they will evaluate will be Dustin Hermanson. The team worked out Hermanson in March but took a pass, and he ended up in the Reds' camp where he got off to a hot start, faded, and was released.
One has to wonder if Gillick's renewed interest in Hermanson is due to something he saw from the former White Sox closer that impressed him, or, if it is more because of what he has seen from the Phils' bullpen depressed him.
