Sanchez and Flande released

Yesterday, the Phillies released Jesus Sanchez, who was the only starter to pitch in the Lakewood rotation for the entire 2009 championship season (winning game 2 of the Championship Series), and was the last of the players that the Phillies got for Bobby Abreu.

Also let go was Yohan Flande, a lefty who pitched in the future stars game in 2009 in the midst of a fine season at Clearwater, but apparently 10-8, 4.38 with Reading last year was not good enough.

The reason given was to free up spots on the 40-man roster. Either or both players could be resigned to minor league deals, of course....
