2011 option exercised on rollins

The Phillies have exercised their $8.5 million option on Jimmy Rollins for 2011. This is good news. Rollins, a key leader on the team, is ridiculously underpaid. It's hard to think about what the team will be like when he and the rest of the core are gone. A staggering number of these guys are eligible for free agency after 2011. Sigh. Baseball is a business.
