Welcome to Funsville
The Phillies quietly signed another relief pitcher prior Friday night’s game against the Astros and the Bank, and frankly, this guy looks like he could liven things up. In fact, right-handed reliever J.D. Durbin looks like such a good time that Deadspin decided to do a little send-up on the guy based on his MySpace page.
By the way, Durbin is 25, a Pieces, and dislikes negative people. But then again, don’t we all.
Nevertheless, Durbin was picked up on waivers from the Red Sox who picked him up from waivers from the Diamondbacks earlier in the week. The Red Sox designated Durbin for assignment with the hope of getting him to Triple-A, but the Phillies stepped in and picked him up.
Now the Phillies will try to get him to the minors without another team claiming him… or not.
Last week Durbin appeared in one game for the Diamondbacks and he got two outs. He also gave up seven runs. He was also a second-round pick of the Minnesota Twins in the 2000 draft. He appeared in four major-league games for the Twins in 2004, going 0-1 with a 7.60 ERA.
