Player Notes

March 22, 2008
Francisco Rosario is officially out of the running for the job in the Phillies' bullpen, according to MLB.com. Rosario was placed on the disabled list with right shoulder strain on Saturday, eliminating him from the competition for two available bullpen jobs. He went 0-1 with a 5.91 ERA in four Grapefruit League appearances, including one start. He hasn't thrown in a game since March 14. This spring, he allowed seven runs in 10 2/3 innings, walking five and striking out eight.

March 14, 2008
RHP Francisco Rosario suffered through a horrific outing today in the Phillies 1-9 loss to the Atlanta Braves in the Grapefruit League today, surrendering six runs on three hits, two walks, and two hit batters through just two innings of work. The bulk of the damage (though none of it was positive) came via a grand slam by SS Yunel Escobar in the second inning. Rosario, attempting to secure the fifth spot in the Phillies starting rotation, has been strong in spring training until today, sporting an ERA of 1.04 through 8 2/3 innings spent working out of the bullpen. Todays performance is a concern but should not hamper Rosarios efforts greatly. He clearly has work to do but has been a positive note thus far.
