Rollins's MVP Award Underscores Need to Take Advantage of a Roster In Its Prime

Two years, two different players, two Most Valuable Player awards -- one team. Jimmy Rollins's 2007 encore to Ryan Howard's spectacular 2006 campaign earned him the National League MVP nod, and while I'm proud as hell to have Phillies win the thing back-to-back, it really does make you worry that management isn't taking full advantage of the talent nucleus that's here. Don't think that Chase Utley couldn't make it three-for-three next year, either. These guys aren't going to be this productive forever. Get 'em some arms now, please, Mr. Gillick, and I'm not talking about retreads of Adam Eaton's caliber. S|C
