PHILS PHACTS:
Phils Flip Otero – The
Indians acquired right-hander Dan Otero from the
Phillies on Friday in exchange for cash considerations. Otero, 30, was selected
by the Giants in the 2007 Draft and made his big league debut for them in '12.
He has spent the past three seasons with the A's and owns a 12-6 career record
with one save and a 3.46 ERA in 158 relief appearances. To make room on the
40-man roster, the Indians designated outfielder Jerry Sands for assignment. Otero was claimed off
waivers by the Phillies on Nov. 3. He went 2-4 with a 6.75 ERA in 41
appearances for Oakland last season.
THE BEGINNING:
The
Phillies finally put an end to the season finishing in last place in the NL
East with a record of 63-99. Given the departures, aging stars, injuries, and
bipolar performances, this has ended up being one of the worst seasons in
franchise history! However, at least Ryan Madson got another ring this year.
