It is hard to believe that it has been over ten years since the Philadelphia Phillies found their starting shortstop in hotshot prospect Jimmy Rollins. From Reading to Scranton and then up to the Phillies in 2000, Rollins has continually shown his worth and his talent with the club that drafted him.
Rollins, now 33, is hoping to continue to wow Phillies fans with his bat and glove. He may not be the all star and MVP he was only five years ago, but he can still play and he can still succeed at the major league level.
In 2012 Rollins will be in the first year of a new three year deal with the Phillies. The vesting option for a fourth year seems achievable if he can stay healthy and it looks that the Phillies and Rollins will look to him having a good season if they hope to reach another World Series. With only three guaranteed years to prove he can still play, Rollins is primed to show the Phillies in 2012 and beyond why signing him was a good investment.
