Will be interesting to see what Dayton Moore gives up to acquire him this summer.
The Phillies have signed shortstop Yuniesky Betancourt to a minor-league deal, the team announced. The deal comes with an invitation to spring training.
The 31-year-old Betancourt hit .228/.256/.400 in 228 plate appearances with the Royals last season. During his eight-year career, Betancourt has seen time with the Mariners, Royals and Brewers. In 3,869 career plate appearances, Betancourt has a .266/.290/.392 career slash line.

< 1 2I'd take Luis Borges, because with that name he's 2/3 of the way to being a blind Argentinian librarian.
More seriously, I take the guy who seems like the best defender, whoever that is. A plus defender in Mexico will probably be a plus defender in MLB, but the hitting is more difficult to work out.
