Smart move. Those didn't have a place to play and was basically a DH.Quote:

Yea I think it is because of Howard due to be back soon. Thome was just a fill in until that was to happen. However I would like to have Victorino:)
Great move by the Phillies to give Thome the respect. He can still flat out hit.
