Many members of the Phillies remain in touch with outfielder Jayson Werth, who signed with the Nationals as a free agent this past winter. "I'll be on him," manager Charlie Manuel promised as Philadelphia and Washington gear up for a series. "I'll be getting on him. I'll be getting on J-Dub. I'll be hollering at him." The Phillies will see Werth on Tuesday at Nationals Park for the first time since he signed a seven-year, $126 million contract with the Nationals. "If I slide into second and take out J-Roll, I'll probably help him up," Werth joked, referring to Phillies shortstop Jimmy Rollins. "No promises, but most likely. "I'm excited to see those guys. We have some pretty long-lasting bonds. That's one thing you can never take away from us, what we did there. It was pretty special. We turned a pretty negative situation into ... I think they know what they have there right now. It wasn't like that when I got there. "I was a pretty big part of what happened there the last four years. That will never change. I respect and am excited to see those guys. Once the game starts, it will be all business, for the most part."
