Really: Phillies Paying For Helms

If you aren’t impressed by the work of Larry Beinfest and Michael Hill, you should reconsider. Apparently the “cash” exchanged with the Phillies is $2.15 Million which happens to be Wes Helms‘ 2008 salary. Now the fish will probably buy out his last year at $750,000 but that’s not a bad price for a quality veteran.

Update: Turns out the Marlins gave Philadelphia $1 as consideration for the deal.

Marlins Beat Nats 10-7; Beat Head Over Day Off Tomorrow

Marlins win with home runs. Once again starting pitching can’t get to the 6th (or out of the 4th, for that matter). If we solve that problem we’ll continue to be the first-place Florida Marlins.
