Philadelphia -- The Philadelphia Phillies have released pitcher Brett Myers and third baseman Pedro Feliz at the start of what could be an off-season roster overhaul.
Various media reports this week said the status of closer Brad Lidge, first baseman Matt Stairs, utility infielder Eric Bruntlett, catcher Paul Bako and reliever Scott Eyre likely are shaky among team officials. The club did, however, decide to keep starter Cliff Lee for the 2010 season.
"If I don't fit their plans, that's fine with me," Myers said on the Phillies' Web site late Friday. "There's nothing I can do about it."

Philadelphia, Oct. 22: Jayson Werth began and finished a power surge Wednesday that sent Philadelphia sailing into the World Series with a 10-4 win over the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Philadelphia captured the National League Championship Series in five games and earned a week off before the World Series begins Oct. 28.
After winning one World Series title in the franchise's first 124 years, the Phillies will now try for two in a row. They defeated Tampa Bay to win the championship last year, adding that crown to the one they claimed in 1980.

Los Angeles, Oct. 16: Carlos Ruiz and Raul Ibanez hit three-run homers Thursday to power Philadelphia past the Los Angeles Dodgers 8-6 in Game 1 of the NL Championship Series.
The blast by Ruiz was the key blow in a five-run fifth inning and Ibanez hit his shot in the eighth to give the defending World Series champion Phillies an 8-4 lead.
Los Angeles closed within 8-6 in the bottom of the eighth and Manny Ramirez came to the plate with two on and two out. Ramirez, who hit a two-run homer in the fifth to temporarily bring the Dodgers within one, grounded out to third to end the Los Angeles threat.
Struggling Philadelphia closer Brad Lidge came on in the ninth and, with the help of a double play, earned his third save in this year's playoffs.

Philadelphia, Sept. 29: Pedro Feliz hit Philadelphia's 11th grand slam of the season Tuesday in a 7-4 victory over the Houston Astros.
Feliz hit his second grand slam of the season and seventh of his career for the Phillies, whose magic number to win the NL East was reduced to one. With five games remaining, Philadelphia needs only one win or an Atlanta loss to clinch the division title.
Jayson Werth added a two-run homer, as the Phillies won for only the third time in eight games.
J.A. Happ (12-4) went 5 2/3 innings and yielded four runs on nine hits and one walk to become the team's first rookie since 1959 to win that many games.
