Sign Francisco Liriano to a minor league deal.
Do it again!

Can't hurt. Now, 10 more of these.


unless he ends up pitching for the phillies and he sucks and they keep running him out there


Good point. Hopefully, Girardi has more common sense than that. Need 9 more now with Bud.

depends on the terms, but I'm fine with it. He's sometimes not bad at all and we need some guys like this to raise the chance that someone good emerges out of camp for the 5th spot.

Minor league deal, $1.5M + $1.25M in incentives if he makes the majors

I'm cool with the lotto ticket approach the past two days, particularly now that the Phillies have an upper-tier pitching coach.

We absolutely should collect multiples of these guys, and see what happens in the spring. Liriano is better than Smyly, for example. As I've mentioned, would love to see Taijuan Walker here on a make-good, and Scooter Gennett to help in the infield. Think that guy would end up hitting .280+ with very good power still.

@Feinsand
Per source, INF Neil Walker has agreed to a minor league deal with the Phillies. He will be in big-league camp.

Seems like he should have been able to get a ML offer? That could be a good one.

Can play multiple positions, is a league-average hitter vs RHP, can't hit LHP. Good player for the bench, honestly.

I think Gennett is far better, but I realize I'm high on him.
