News and Notes

Nov 5
Rollins finished the year hitting .250/.296/.423 with 21 home runs, 77 RBI, 100 runs scored and 31 stolen bases. Recommendation: Rollins was hitting only .229 with seven home runs at the All-Star break but hit .272 with 14 home runs after the break to post respectable numbers. Rollins' batting average suffered this year due to a decreased walk rate and an increased fly ball rate. He was getting under the ball early in the season and flying out quite a bit. The Phillies would certainly prefer that Rollins gets his on-base percentage back up in the .340 range next season. |

SS Jimmy Rollins has a knack for making headlines in the Big Apple. In 2007, he labeled the Phillies as the "team to beat" in the NL East, drawing the ire of the Mets. And before the World Series, he said the Phillies would defeat the Yankees in five games. "They happen to ask the right questions at the right time, and I'll usually do my best to tell the truth about how I feel or what I'm thinking," Rollins said. "For some reason, people like to write about it." |
