Four Minor Signings
Not huge news, but the Phillies have issued four non-roster invites to spring training: outfielder DeWayne Wise, infielders Wilson Valdez and Andy Tracy, and catcher Paul Hoover. Tracy and Hoover briefly played for the Phils in September; Wise spent 2009 with the White Sox, gaining notoriety for a spectacular catch that helped save a perfect game for Mark Buehrle in July, while Valdez filled a bench role for the Mets. If you're not sure what Juan Castro has over Valdez that got the older no-hit infield reserve a big-league deal, that makes two of us.

Andy Tracy has eyes for Howard’s starting spot. Look out big guy.

They are minor signings but good ones none the less. Hey, if you can get a couple of pinch hits, runners, or decent defensive replacement for Raul for free, why the hell not?
