Dane Sardinha elects to leave the Philadelphia Phillies
32-year old righty swinging catcher Dane Sardinha has elected to become a minor league free agent. Sardinha played in 15 games for the Phillies in 2011 and he was 7 for 32 (.219 avg, .669 OPS) with 8 runs scored, 0 homers and 1 RBI. He played in 28 games in his two years with the Phillies and he was 15 for 71 (.211 avg, .706 OPS) with 13 runs scored, 3 homers and 9 RBIs. The Phillies should have little problem replacing Sardinha.
