The Philadelphia Phillies sign Eddie Bonine
The Phillies have signed 29-year old righty reliever Eddie Bonine to a minor league deal. Bonine pitched in 47 games (1 start) for the Tigers last season and he was 4-1 with a 4.63 ERA and a 1.56 WHIP. He has now pitched in 62 games (10 starts) in three years in the majors and he was 7-3 with a 4.74 ERA and a 1.54 WHIP. I like this signing for the Phillies as Bonine could wind up being their long reliever out of the pen in 2010.
