The Phillies have hired Hall of Fame second baseman Ryne Sandberg to manage the Leghigh Valley IronPigs, their Triple-A affiliate. The 2011 team may not provide much excitement but Sandberg should certainly get the attention of IronPigs' fans.
The Phillies are also reportedly close to finalizing a two-year deal, worth $5 million, with 39-year-old reliever Jose Contreras. Is the Big Truck's age or the length of the contract more significant?
