After a rapid decline that saw him fall from being one of the game’s best 2bmen to being cut from the Rockies minors in just over three seasons (VORP for 2005,2006, and 2007: 41.4, 14.1, and -8.7), the Phillies are giving him another chance. If he’s placed on the 40 man roster, his salary for ‘09 is guaranteed for $600,000.
Good news for Marcus, who always seemed like a decent person and was an enthusiastic player. Hope he does alright, even if it is for the Phillies.
