Baseball: Outfielder Glanville may return to the Phillies

The Phillies could be just a couple of days away from re-signing outfielder Doug Glanville.

Phillies general manager Ed Wade said yesterday that he was "cautiously optimistic" that they can work out a deal with Glanville, who played with the Phillies from 1998 to 2002.

Hmm, I wonder why they would bring back Dougy G. He was a good player but the Phillies outfield is set with Bobby Abreu, Pat Burrell, and Marlon Byrd. Maybe he'll be a bench player or even compete with Byrd for the starting centerfield position.

I think they said he would be a bench player to start and see how he does.

he could come off the bench or he could be a DH but i dont know how well he hits the ball

he will switch with him every other game so that those players wont get to tried and they will always be fresh.
