Phillies paying in the draft for earlier spending

In 2009, outfielders Kelly Dugan and Kyrell Hudson were picked in the second and third rounds, respectively. Not exactly an Utley, Rollins, Howard or Hamels in that group.

Well, I guess we're done with those two, then.

Phillies notes: Draft time; Rollins still limping

"No comment," said Rollins when asked how he felt after Sunday’s game. "Write what you see." Rollins walked with a noticeable limp.

I guess BaseBa'al didn't want the Phillies to have their whole lineup together.
