--CF Shane Victorino will appear in an episode of CBS's "Hawaii Five-O." Victorino, a native of Hawaii, will play a business executive in the episode that runs on Monday, Feb. 20.

--RHP Roy Oswalt last pitched in Game 4 of the National League Division Series at Busch Stadium the second-to-last game of the Phillies season. But the three-time All-Star remains a free agent with spring training barely over a week away. Phillies' general manager Ruben Amaro Jr. defused a FoxSports.com report that his team remained in the hunt to re-sign Oswalt. "We really don't have any room for him," Amaro told MLB.com. "We have five, six starters, and our resources are about where we want to be right now. I think he wouldn't mind coming back, but I don't know that's feasible or a real possibility."

--RHP Joe Blanton will have a spot in the Phillies' rotation, as long as his right arm doesn't hold up his ability to pitch. Blanton, who missed the majority of the 2011 season because of a right elbow ailment, pitched in five games last September, sporting a 2.57 ERA. "I guess you have to consider (Blanton's health) a question mark because he pitched so little last year, but at the same time, he threw at the end of the year last year, and that was a good sign," general manager Ruben Amaro Jr. said. "We expect him to be in our rotation this year. Hopefully he can get through it in a healthy way."

--RHP Jonathan Papelbon is scheduled to meet the media on Feb. 18 in Clearwater, Fla., one day after the first official workout for Phillies' pitchers and catchers, and the official beginning of spring training. Papelbon, the Red Sox all-time saves leader, left Boston to sign a four-year, $50 million contract with the Phillies in November.

--SS Jimmy Rollins signed a three-year, $33 million contract with the Phillies earlier this offseason that includes an $8 million club option for a fourth season. If that club option is not exercised, Rollins has a player option to return for $5 million. But more details of that fourth year emerged this week. According to MLB.com, a club option for $11 million for the fourth season automatically kicks in if Rollins has 600 plate appearances in 2014 or a total of 1,100 plate appearances in 2013-14 (as long as he's not on the disabled list at the end of the '14 season). If he does happen to be on the disabled list at that time, the option can still kick in if a doctor gives both sides the OK that Rollins would be ready for Opening Day 2015.

BY THE NUMBERS
600 -- The number of plate appearances Jimmy Rollins would need to compile in the 2014 season to kick in an automatic club option that would turn his three-year, $33 million contract into a four-year, $44 million deal.
