The Phillies apparently feel that they don't have quite enough washed up aging relievers so they decided to sign Rudy Seanez, who was cut by the Dodgers earlier this week, to a contract. Seanez is expected to be in uniform for the Phillies tomorrow. Seanez was signed to a 1 year - $550K contract with $750 K in possible performance bonuses back in February of this year by the Dodgers. However, after a poor Spring, he was cut on Sunday. The Phillies will be responsible for his contract this year after claiming him off waivers.
I'll go out on a limb here and guess that Tom Gordon will be on the DL with a "previously undiagnosed" injury within the next 2 weeks as Seanez will be thrust into his setup role. Its pretty sad that it's Day 2 of the 2008 Season and Pat Gillick is already picking up Arms from the scrap heap. Not a good sign for the rest of the season.
