Tony Watson Signs With Phillies
4 years agoThe Philadelphia Phillies and relief pitcher Tony Watson agreed to a minor league contract with an invite to Spring Training, according to Todd Zolecki. Watson pitched well last season allowing a 2.50 ERA with a 0.89 WHIP with the Giants, albeit in only 18 innings. He has some experience as a closer when he racked up 25 saves across two seasons in Pittsburgh, but the left-hander has mostly been a matchup specialist in recent years. Watson is a career-2.80 ERA pitcher, though his lack of strikeouts makes him a fantasy afterthought unless he is in line for saves. If he makes the team he could accrue some holds, but the majority of fantasy managers won't be rostering Watson.
