Yesterday’s question pertained to the players that are on the Phillies currently in Clearwater, but are in danger of losing their spot thanks to their lack of minor league options. Today, let’s look at the flip side of the coin.
A few years ago, the Phillies grabbed Cristian Pache in a last minute deal with the A’s as a depth outfielder that ended up covering some innings for them. It’s a common thing teams do towards the end of spring training when decisions are due and players need to be shopped around. Pache was available to the team as an option that was perceived to be better than what they had on hand and he ended up playing quite a bit.
