Phillies Have Agreement With Unnamed Starter

By Steve Adams | December 12, 2013 at 7:00am CDT

Phillies general manager Ruben Amaro Jr. told reporters, including Jim Salisbury of CSN Philly, that he has an agreement in place with a free agent starting pitcher (Twitter link). Though he didn't specify the name of the pitcher, as the deal is pending a physical, the Philadelphia Inquirer's Matt Gelb reported that it was a back-of-the-rotation type of arm (on Twitter).

Gelb notes on Twitter that the Phillies have had interest in Jerome Williams, who would fit Amaro's description, though it's not certain that he's the starting pitcher in question. Whoever the "mystery player" is will fall in line behind Cliff Lee, Cole Hamels and Kyle Kendrick, with Cuban signee Miguel Alfredo Gonzalez serving as a rotation option for manager Ryne Sandberg as well.

        He has 7.63 career ERA at Citizens Bank Park.

        I second that.

      Pelfrey was run of the mill at his best. He was scary bad last year even pitching at Target Field. I hope the Phils sign him, just because it would mean the Twins don’t.

    Is Amaro keeping him secret just to avoid being heckled over his choice of #5 starter?

    Back end of the rotation should be covered by a cost-controlled first or second year player, you should not have to sign someone to be at the back end of the rotation, this is exactly how you waste payroll…
