Phillies - Rollins 5 years? & Flyers home opener

TY to over ---770,000 readers---of my Yahoo Sports, Interview and News articles since 2/1/11.http://contributor.yahoo.com/user/977720/sean_obrien.html

Phillies -

At yesterday's press conferences...Jimmy Rollins stated that he wants a four-year deal, with a fifth year at his option.

Ruben Amaro said that the Phillies are willing to consider several years for Rollins.

Would they go for five? Seems like that is a stretch.

Someone will be willing to give him that. Maybe the Giants, the Braves, or a sleeper team like the Nationals- (probably not them, but a team like them who has money and needs to add a star).

It will truly be a new era if he does leave.

His glove work at shortstop places him among the best (fielding percentage wise) to have ever played the game. Read them for yourself: Baseball's all-time fielding percentage leaders. 

Flyers - 


When the home opener happens tonight something new will be in the air. The atmosphere surrounding this team is dynamic, fresh and hopeful.

Whether they can do anything significant this season is a question. But, Holmgren accomplished his goal of changing course. That was needed.
