Joe Roa

Roa was the ultimate bargain. He started the season as roster filler for Triple-A Scranton then went 14-0 and was called up to the major leagues. He actually pitched better than Brett Myers while with the Phillies, but is nine years older and doesn't get paid as much. He will compete for the last spot in the rotation based on his performance in 2002. Doesn't walk many (13 in 71.1 IP), but hitters connected for a .286 average. He averaged six innings per start. He might provide a nice bargain in 2003. However, since the Phillies haven't invested too much in him, neither should you.
