Re: Phillies Sign Willy Taveras

Not so sure this is the best medicine for a team flailing on offense.

Willie T is going to AAA, and replacing our old friend Dewayne Wise.

Re: Phillies Sign Willy Taveras

The way the Phillies have been hitting lately, he might be the team's cleanup hitter soon.

Re: Phillies Sign Willy Taveras

And they released him.

Quote:
The Phillies released Willy Taveras, MLBTR has learned. The Phillies signed the speedy outfielder earlier in the month, not long after the Nationals released him. The A's, who are paying most of Taveras' $4MM salary, released him in February, so this marks the third time the former NL stolen base champ has been released this year.

I was hoping Willy and Castro could be in the same lineup.

The Phils are the new Nats, who were the old Reds. Or something.

Re: Phillies Sign Willy Taveras

Thankfully the Reds signed Gary Mathews Jr. Otherwise, they may have considered this guy to fill their supposed need.

I'd rather play a man short than have Willy on my team. Worst major league player I've ever seen.
