How about those (ex) Phillies?

Scott Rolen homered in last night's 7-1 Cardinals win in game 1 of the World Series, and later scored again on an interference call. Placido Polanco (profiled here) has played well for the Tigers. The story mentions he didn't get much playing time because of Chase Utley. The real reason he didn't stay was the Phillies couldn't afford to bench 3B David Bell, Rolen's replacement, since his salary was too high. The irony was that Bell was dumped to Milwaukee this year. Don't forget RP Todd Jones, who played well for the Tigers this year.
