Bobby is going to Philly

The Timber Rattler franchise record holder for wins in a season has been traded.

Livingston bolsters Philadelphia pitching staff

PHILADELPHIA -- The Phillies acquired a potential No. 1 starter in Freddy Garcia during last week's Winter Meetings. On Tuesday, they took another step in bolstering their depth at the position.

Left-hander Bobby Livingston was acquired by the Phillies from the Devil Rays for cash considerations. The Devil Rays had claimed Livingston off waivers from the Mariners earlier in the day.

Livingston, 24, made three appearances out of the bullpen for the Mariners in 2006. He played most of the season for Triple-A Tacoma, where he posted an 8-11 record with a 4.59 ERA in 22 starts and one relief appearance.


If the Devil Rays picked Bobby off waivers and traded him to the Phillies, then the mariners didn't get anything for him?

Busy day for Bobby. He won a Timber Rattler record 15 games in 2003 and I only recall one or two bad outings. Good luck to Bobby.
