News: Phillies Sign Danys Baez

The Phillies have signed reliever Danys Baez to a two year contract, according to MLB.com.

After missing the entire 2008 season, the 32 year old Baez pitched 71 2/3 innings for the Orioles in 2009, going 4-6 with a 4.02 ERA in 59 games.

…i remember the Mets were supposedly interested in Baez some years ago as a closer when he was with the Devil Rays, but instead they ended up with Braden Looper

Baez is expected to join Ryan Madson and J.C. Romero as a setup man to Brad Lidge.
