Phillies Sign Pete Orr

By Ben Nicholson-Smith | November 11, 2010 at 9:59am CDT

The Phillies signed utility man Pete Orr, according to Bob Elliott of the Toronto Sun. Orr, 31, last appeared in the majors with the Nationals in 2009. In five seasons for the Braves and Nationals, he has a career .260/.287/.335 line. The Canadian has just 555 big league plate appearances, but he has played at second, third, short and in both corner outfield positions.

Orr spent the 2010 season at Triple-A Syracuse, where he batted .264/.326/.436 in 536 plate appearances. He hit 12 homers, stole 25 bases and played second, third, short and all three outfield positions.

    Off topic here- R.I.P. Dave Niehaus. Fly, fly away.

      “Get out the rye bread and mustard, Grandma, it’s grand salami time!!!” Man, me and my friends still play Ken Griffey Jr. Slugfest for 64 and Niehaus is forever enshrined in classic form! “BELTED!”

      Mariners games just won’t be the same without his contributions from the booth. I grew up listening to him calling those games, so just knowing that he won’t be calling them anymore is weird.

        Agreed, and I’m not really so wild about Dave Sims and Mike Blowers.

          I don’t mind Sims and Blowers that much, but they lack that passion and fire that Niehaus had and was so popular for. He always showed how much he loved the game in the way he called it. Sims and Blowers aren’t bad at their job, but they don’t have that flare, and compared to Niehaus there is absolutely no contest.

    Is Laynce Nix next. Nix in left and Orr in right sounds like book your World Series tickets.
    Probably have to bat 6th and 7th.

    Orr is strictly a base runner, nothing more. And, maybe an occasional PH.

    I’ll never forget that overtime goal he scored in the Stanely Cup finals against St. Louis in 1970.

    This isn’t a bad signing, the Phillies need some infield depth at AAA Lehigh Valley. This reminds me alot of the Wilson Valdez signing last year which really worked out in the Phils favor. As long as the headline’s dont read “Phillies Sign Jeff Francoeur” Ill be happy.

      I don’t think this eliminates the possibility of Valdez coming back.

    Yeah Elliot didn’t mention it was a minor league deal (confirmed by Todd Zolecki). This has no bearing on Valdez.
