Greg Dobbs has elected free agency, according to MLB.com's Todd Zolecki (on Twitter). The 32-year-old hit just .196/.251/.331 this year and the Phillies designated him for assignment twice during the season. Though Dobbs has less than six years of service time and could have been retained through arbitration, the Phillies were comfortable letting him go.
They signed Dobbs to a two-year $2.5MM deal after he hit .284/.331/.467 in 598 plate appearances from 2007-08, mostly against right-handed pitching. Back in 2008, Dobbs set the franchise record for pinch hits in a season with 22.
Greg Dobbs needs to elect to refund his 2010 salary.
WHY – he probably will want 3M next year
You can’t always get what you want.
Too bad it’s not Roy Dobbs
Good luck Greg, thanks for 2008, you were clutch off the bench.
Thanks for 2008 Greggles.
