The Phils signed reliever Oscar Villareal to a minor league deal today. He missed all of last season while recuperating from elbow surgery and will not take part in the Phils MLB spring training camp However, with a 24-15 record and a 3.86 ERA in his career, plus 9 wins out of the bullpen in 2006, he provides good insurance for the Phils at AAA Lehigh, should any injuries or poor play hurt the big league roster. So in sum the with Villareal to Phils continue to make themselves a much deeper team then they were last year. That could pay dividends late in the season when the Phils are able to remain fresh while other teams start to break down.

I think this adds some depth to the Phillies and it helps out AAA and as you said when other teams are struggling to stay fresh the Phils we have some talent waiting to play.
