Moyer Signs; So Does Pak

The Phillies made 2 moves today, all having to do with pitching:

1) In the most important move of the day, they have signed Jamie Moyer to a 2 year deal. The deal is a long home coming. There were reports that Moyer was talking to the Brewers, but it was assumed all along that he would sign here. The hold up was whether or not the Phillies would give him a 2nd year, which they ultimatly did. I'm happy they gave it to him, because he was a big part of there success last year, and deserved to get that extra year.

2) After signing Moyer to cement there top 4 starters (Hamels, Myers, Blanton, Moyer), the Phillies added Chan Ho Pak. Pak pitched for the Dodgers last season and had an ERA of 3.40. He said he signed with the Phillies because they wanted him to start, and because they were world champions. He is expected to compete with Kyle Kendrick and J.A. Happ for the 5th spot
