The Phillies have apparently decided to reinforce their bullpen by bringing back Jose Mesa, their former closer who fell down on the job a few seasons back and whose ERA is currently over 12. So he’s incompetent and he conjures bad memories for Philadelphia fans. Of COURSE you would sign this guy to a contract.
It’s enough to make me think Pat Gillick wants to be fired. Tonight’s shellacking at the hands of the Kansas City Royals doesn’t help matters. Sheesh.
