Here are today’s minor moves from around the league…
- The Phillies and catcher John Hester have agreed to a minor league deal with an invitation to Major League Spring Training, tweets Chris Cotillo of SB Nation’s Daily Dish. The 31-year-old is a veteran of 93 Major League games over parts of four seasons with the D’Backs and Angels. In his 232 trips to the plate, Hester has produced a .216/.294/.351 batting line with six homers. He’s had considerably better luck in 402 games at the Triple-A, where he’s batted .278/.344/.449 batting line in 1567 plate appearances.
Now many thought this said Jon Lester at first?
Yup!
You spelled his name wrong.
Tomas is next!!
That must have been so disappointing when everyone realized that was not a typo.
I’d rather have Hester than Lester, we need to spend our money elsewhere, and were not exactly in the condition to sign a top arm either.
