The Phillies signed veteran catcher Paul Bako to a minor league contract where he will be assigned to an extended spring training. He will then have to go through the minor league system. I really don't care about this signing at all. He's 36 and not that good. He's batting .231 with 21 homers and 186 RBI's in 745 games for his career.
In other positive news, Raul Ibanez won the NL Player of the Week honors. He tied for the league lead with 12 RBIs and nine runs scored, and tied for second in the league with four home runs and 13 hits. He hit .481 (13 for 27) with a .963 slugging percentage and a .576 on-base percentage. Pat who?
And the best news I have, JC Romero is only 16 games away from helping this bull pen tremendously. He was suspended 50 days for using a banned substance. He will be able to take the late innings role from Scott Eyre and will take a lot of the load off of Clay Condrey and Chad Durbin. His return should get the bull pen back on track.
