The Phillies have declined to offer Jamie Moyer a new contract, so the 48 year old lefty will become a free agent by next week.
Moyer missed the last half of the 2010 season with an elbow injury. He finished 9-9 with a 4.84 ERA, 63 strikeouts and 20 walks. He has announced that he will be playing winter ball in the Dominican League.
"If I do it, it would just be for a few starts," Moyer said. "I just want to make sure I can do it. If I get through that, I would continue my rehab over the winter and try to go to [spring training] camp with a club."
I'll miss Moyer's work ethic, his finesse, and his 17mph circle changeup that even I had a chance at hitting. He's a class act, a philanthropist, and a local guy. I'll miss his traffic cop-like antics on the mound, screaming "TWO HANDS!!" for popups and such.
I'll really, REALLY miss the stirrups.
