Bullpen Moves (Phillies, Red Sox)
A few teams made some minor moves to help their bullpens, though neither of these moves should make any fantasy waves:
- David Murphy of The Philadelphia Daily News (click here for the article) is reporting that the Phillies have signed Mike Koplove, inviting him to spring training. He’s 15-7 with a 3.82 ERA over 222.0 career innings. Since 2005, however, he’s only appeared in 9 major league innings with the Diamondbacks & Indians, though none of them came in 2008.
- According to mlb.com (click here for the article), the Boston Red Sox “acquired righthanded pitcher Wes Littleton from the Texas Rangers in exchange for two players to be named later or cash considerations”. Littleton has thrown 102.1 innings over the past 3 seasons for the Rangers, going 5-3 with a 3.69 ERA and Baseball America had him pegged as the Rangers #7 prospect back in 2004. Last season he only appeared in 12 games, however, posting a 6.00 ERA.
