Werth Back On Roster; Snelling Can Become Free Agent

Todd Zolecki reports the Phillies have activated Jayson Werth to the 25-man roster, sending outfielder Chris Snelling down to AAA Lehigh Valley. Snelling is out of options, Zolecki reports, and can accept the assignment within three days or become a free agent.

If I’m Snelling I accept the assignment and play out some time with the IronPigs. He could find his way onto a Major League roster (the Red Sox come to mind), but it’s not very likely he’ll find a better situation than Philadelphia.

Tim first found the Phillies as a little infant at Veteran’s Stadium, cheering on a Juan Samuel game-winning home run in his very first game. With the pinstripes in his blood, he witnessed Terry Mulholland’s 1990 no-hitter, “Steve Carlton Night” at the Vet, game three of the 1993 World Series, countless games during the charmed 2008 championship season and various road excursions. Since November 2007 Tim’s been writing about them daily at Phillies Nation, becoming one of the world’s most popular Phillies scribes. You can catch him on Twitter and Facebook, as well. When he’s not talking about the Phils he’s relaxing with a St. Bernardus ABT 12 or one of his many favored brews.
