Daily News | Phillies pay a high price but get a player in Michael Lorenzen who fills a big role
He did what he needed to do. He paid what he needed to pay in order to get it done.
In Michael Lorenzen, Dombrowski, the Phillies’ president of baseball operations, found a pitcher with the potential to address all of those concerns. A 31-year-old righty with a good fastball and plenty of experience pitching in tough ballparks, Lorenzen spent four seasons as a work-horse reliever capable of pitching high-leverage innings in multiples. Over the last year and a half, he has established himself as a viable starter, logging a 3.
The ideal world would see Suárez emerge from his rough patch and Cristopher Sánchez continue to pitch well, which would free up Lorenzen to attempt to replace some of the production the Phillies have missed with José Alvarado and Seranthony Domínguez suffering through injury-plagued seasons. This is the kind of move that could look increasingly smart as the postseason draws near.
