Offseason Rundown

Just to lay it out simply, here are the issues the Phils face this offseason:

Outfield

• Pat Burrell could re-sign for two or three years. If not, the Phils will look to replace him with a right-handed bat on a two-year deal.

• Shane Victorino faces arbitration, and is a longterm deal candidate.

• Jayson Werth faces arbitration.

Starting Pitchers

• Jamie Moyer might re-sign for a year or two. Still, the Phils might choose to add another back-end starter for cheap.

• Cole Hamels faces an arbitration year. He could be offered a longterm contract.

• Joe Blanton faces arbitration.

Infield

• A right-handed bench bat may be sought for cheap.

• Ryan Howard is arbitration-eligble again, and should receive a raise from the $10M he collected in 2008.

• Greg Dobbs is arbitration-eligble.

• Eric Bruntlett is also arbitration-eligible.

Relief Pitchers

• The Phils could and should grab a player or two for insurance.

• Scott Eyre is a potential free agent, but expressed interest to stay for another year.

• Rudy Seanez has filed for free agency.

• Chad Durbin faces arbitration.

• Ryan Madson is arbitration-eligible. He could expect a contract.

• Clay Condrey is arbitration-eligible.

Catchers

• Neither Carlos Ruiz nor Chris Coste are facing arbitration.
