Phillies interested in Mariner
As other teams turn up the hot stove with talk about CC Sabathia, Manny Ramirez and Jake Peavy, the Phillies are looking for ways to tweak their World Series championship roster. There are indications inside the organization that there is interest in free-agent leftfielder Raul Ibanez, who hit .293 with 23 home runs and 110 RBIs last season with the Seattle Mariners. What is interesting about Ibanez, 36, is that he hits lefthanded. That would seem to work against manager Charlie Manuel's vision of a balanced lineup, given that Chase Utley and Ryan Howard are also lefthanded hitters.

Ibanez or Abreu will end up with the Cubs because they need a productive left handed OF bat. No way Ibanez goes to the Phillies. They need a righty to take Burrell's spot, and Bruntlett is certainly not the answer. Juan Rivera and Rocco Baldelli are FA's...not sure who else is on the trade block.

Manny
Right...but I was referring only to those FA's that Philly would consider. No chance of Manny being the Phillies left fielder in 2009.

I have nothing against the Phillies lineup, except that it's predominantly left handed.....I think the Phillies need a offensive player who can get on base....hit for high average....not necessarily a home run hitter, but a singles & doubles hitter....someone to just get one....Don't bring in someone who's gonna hit .240-.250 for the season....There's enough firepower still in this lineup to do alot of damage....get someone who can get on and make some noise on the basepaths....
