Phillies interested in Rodney, DeRosa

The Phillies are "showing preliminary interest" in free agent reliever Fernando Rodney, according to Ken Rosenthal and Jon Paul Morosi of FOX Sports.

The flame-throwing Rodney would be an upgrade over Brad Lidge as the team's closer.

Meanwhile, SI's Jon Heyman reports Mark DeRosa has already received calls from eight teams including the Phiilies. DeRosa is reportedly a Charlie Manuel favorite and the guy Manuel would like to replace Pedro Feliz at 3b. He's always struck me as more of a super-sub, utility guy.
