According to an FSN broadcast via RotoWorld, the Marlins acquired Wes Helms from the Phils for cash. So I guess that means the Fish were willing to take on the $2.9MM owed to him? If so, quite a commitment for them.
Helms, 32 in May, had his best year with the Marlins in '06. H...

When Pedro Feliz was signed to a 2 year, 8.5 million dollar deal in the off-season I had my reservations about the whole thing. Basically, I looked at these things called 'facts' and wondered why the Phillies should be starting a guy with a ludicrously low on-base percentage...

Wes Helms doesn't have a position on the Phillies this year. With the signing of Pedro Feliz, a right-handed third baseman, Helms has become redundant. Yes, he can play first base if Ryan Howard needs a rest, but so can a number of players already on the roster. Therefore, Helms...
