Bring Back Jayson Werth

We the undersigned demand that you re-sign Jayson Werth. Without a legitimate right handed power hitter in the lineup, should he depart from the team, Werth's absence will be detrimental to the team's success in 2011.

Upper management cannot afford to make another mistake. We traded Cliff Lee and signed Ryan Howard to a lucrative deal that he clearly doesn't deserve. We cannot allow Jayson Werth to sign with another team. This action will only prove to be costly to the success of the Philadelphia Phillies.

Jayson Werth has become the closest thing to a guarantee this team has with the exception of Roy Halladay.

He had 27 home runs in 2010, with 85 RBI's and was a doubles machine---his 46 doubles led the league. This kind of production should be rewarded.

While Dominic Brown will be a fine replacement he does not produce the type of offensive threat of Jayson Werth. Brown leaves a void in the lineup that only a right handed bat can fill. I don't want that right handed bat to be Ben Francisco either.

Please take this petition under serious consideration. The future of the Philadelphia Phillies depends on it.
