Screech should be happy with this package. Also love that the new Phillies front office realizes you don't need a dominant closer as part of a massive rebuild.

I don't know much about any of the pitchers (haven't had the time to look em all up). But as much as I like Giles, I'm happy with this. The rotation is the worst part about the Phillies right now, so getting help there - even if it's not immediate - is a plus.
No need to have a good closer on a team that will probably lose at least 90. Let him have a chance to wreck shit in the playoffs.
