The Philadelphia Phillies sign Oscar Villarreal
The Phillies have signed 28-year old righty reliever Oscar Villarreal to a minor league deal. He last pitched in the majors in 2008 with the Astros. Villarreal has pitched in 258 games (5 starts) in his major league career and he is 24-15 with 1 save, a 3.86 ERA and a 1.37 WHIP. It never hurts to give a guy who has had success in the majors a chance in spring training so I like this move for the Phillies.
