Bye Bye Wolf and Dellucci, Hello Adam Eaton

A few transactions of note for the Phillies.

Eaton replaces Randy Wolf -- who is expected to join the Dodgers -- and fills out a starting rotation of Cole Hamels, Brett Myers, Jon Lieber and Jamie Moyer. Eaton is the third offseason signing for Philadelphia, who also retained Moyer and added infielder Wes Helms with a two-year, $5.45 million deal.

Dellucci would rather get a starting job on another team than ride our bench and who can blame him.
Promised Cleveland's starting job in left field, free agent David Dellucci has reached preliminary agreement on an $11.5 million, three-year contract with the Indians.

I don't know whether Randy Wolf wanted out of Philadelpha, the Phillies didn't want to give him a lot of money, or if the Phillies just didn't really want him back. Whichever, Wolf is gone to the Dodgers for only a one year contract with an option of 2 years. My own speculation believes that Wolf may have signed with the Dodgers because that is where he is from and lives. I think it's a bit cheap of him to go and ditch the Phillies after the paid him for all that time he was on the DL and they gave him a spot in the rotation this year. Let's say he pitches really way this year, the Phillies invested so much in him and then he's just going to up and leave.
