If this goes down, I'm really looking forward to all the jokes.
After signing relief pitcher David Hernandez to a contract on Wednesday, rumors are swirling at the Winter Meetings that the Phils are interested in a veteran starter for the rotation.
Phillies are looking at doug fister. Good buy-low candidate. Philly also needs veteran for rotation.

Fister is not going to knock your socks off, but he is a veteran pitcher who gives the Phillies a much-needed elder statesman to keep those rapscallions Aaron Nola, Jerad Eickhoff, Jeremy Hellickson and Adam Morgan in line.
