Brett Myers will need hip surgery and there’s no reason to expect him back this season. If you’ve got him on your fantasy team (as I did), dump him immediately. The Phillies already have problems with their rotation, with Chan Ho Park and Jamie Moyer both struggling. They will be shopping around for a starting pitcher starting today. Expect a deal with someone before the end of next week. Brad Penny of the Red Sox looks like a possible target. If the Phillies weren’t the defending world champions and had nothing to lose, they might just take a chance with Pedro Martinez, who remains unsigned.
