The Phils have agreed on contract with free agent relief pitcher Danys Baez, formerly of the Orioles. Baez had a 4.02 ERA, while allowing just 59 hits in 71 innings last season for the O's. In his career Baez has 114 saves so he could be valuable as a guy who can close games every now and then. That's especially important for the Phils, with both Brad Lidge, and J.C Romero coming off elbow surgery. Also it appears Chan Ho Park won't be back with the Phils next season, and Scott Eyre still has not decided whether he'll play another year for the Phils or retire. So while Baez will help to improve the Phils bullpen they're no deeper back their now than they were last season, but at least now they have another option at the back of the bullpen, besides the usuals, Romero, Lidge, and Madson.

A good signign I think especially with the the lack of depth there is. Also with having Lidge and Romero coming off of surgery you cant really be sure how they'll perform.

yeah it's a good signing I just wish they could have kept Park also
