Park in the Park

The Phillies sign Chan Ho Park. He seems to know more about his strengths and weaknesses than Ruben Amaro:

The Korea Times reports it is a one-year, $2.5 million contract with performance bonuses that could push the contract to $5 million. It quotes Park as saying, "I was a little worried about the Citizen Bank Park, the home of the Phillies, which is hitter-friendly, but as they considered me as a starter, I signed with Philadelphia."

I'm guessing Park puts up a 5.50 ERA at home this year.

With Jamie Moyer also re-signing with the Phils today, his chances as a starter seem dim. He's behind Hamels, Meyers, Blanton and Moyer, and at best fighting it out with Happ, Carrasco and Kendrick for the 5th spot.

With the Ibanez, Moyers, and Park deals, Amaro seems determined to lower expectations for '09. 83 wins, here we come!
