"moyer unhappy, feels misled"

So reads the title of Todd Zolecki's latest blog for mlb.com. Oh, dear. So much for the good soldier we all thought that Jamie Moyer was. Instead, he feels that he was told during the offseason that this scenario would not occur. Wishful thinking clouds all of our minds at times and that could be the case here. I find it hard to believe that Moyer was assured a spot in the rotation no matter how he was pitching. I'm a fan of his and hope that he will again be back and pitching till he wants to retire, but he was not getting the job done. And he has been handsomely rewarded by the Phillies for his instrumental role last year in winning the World Series. Are cracks starting to appear in this team? How sad if Jamie Moyer turned out to be just that. Even worse if Pedro turns out to be a bust.
