The Philadelphia Phillies claim Brian Bocock off waivers
The Phillies have claimed 24-year old righty swinging Brian Bocock off waivers from the Blue Jays. He played in 122 games in A+AA ball last season and he was 105 for 456 (.230 avg, .618 OPS) with 65 runs scored, 3 homers, 51 RBIs and 8 stolen bases. Bocock has played in the majors during the 2008 season with the Giants when he appeared in 32 games in which he was 11 for 77 (.143 avg, .414 OPS) with 4 runs scored, 2 RBIs and 4 stolen bases. I don’t know why the Phillies even bothered to bring Bocock in as he simply can’t hit the ball.
