Roy Halladay Could Care Less It's Winter, Continues To Long Toss Around Ice Rink Preparation

Found December 19, 2011 on Buzz On Broad: Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: Roy Halladay
TEAMS: Philadelphia Phillies

So what that it is below 40 degrees in Philly? Roy Halladay does not care. This photo, courtesy of managing editor of NHL.com Adam Kimelman, is just another example of the kind of work ethic Halladay has. Doc continued to play some long toss today regardless of the Winter Classic preparations going on around him. There is a reason he is the best in the business.

Rollins Contract & Stuff

Via We Should Be GM's  |  December 18, 2011
Ruben Amaro frolics in fields of money, signing players to contracts beyond market value (in both years and money) with reckless abandon. However, the shrewd bastard waited Jimmy Rollins unreasonable demand out (5 years) and walked away smug as ever. 3 years/$33M with an attainable 4th year option at $11M. Well played Rube, well played.This will be J-Roll's last big contract...

Rollins Returns to Philadelphia

Via Fangraphs  |  December 19, 2011
In perhaps the least shocking move of the offseason, the Phillies re-signed Jimmy Rollins over the weekend. While the possibility always existed that he would sign elsewhere, the availability of several shortstop stopgaps drastically reduced his number of suitors. The remaining teams with shortstop vacancies lacked either the payroll flexibility to pay him eight figures per year...

Rumors: Interest isn’t mutual between Yankees and Oswalt

Via Bronx Baseball Daily  |  December 20, 2011
This morning we heard that free agent starter Roy Oswalt is just looking for a one-year deal as opposed to the three-year contract he was supposedly seeking. This seemed to have opened the door for the Yankees to get involved in bidding for his services since they aren’t looking to sign any pitchers on multi-year deals. However, this does not seem to be the case. Oswalt is...

Phils make it official, Rollins signs new deal

Via mlb.com  |  December 19, 2011
Jimmy Rollins is staying where he feels he belongs, and he'll be doing so for the long haul. The 33-year-old shortstop agreed over the weekend to a three-year, $33 million contract, and the Phillies officially announced the deal Monday.

Answering the Question

Via Baseball Musings  |  December 19, 2011
Yes. The difference between the Yankees and Phillies of recent years is that the Yankees keep mixing in younger players to complement their older stars. They also had Robinson Cano and Brett Gardner emerge as fine players from this strategy. The Phillies also brought along their young players at an older age, think Ryan Howard and Chase Utley. That’s great if the team...
