As we continue to monitor the Ken Griffey Jr. situation, various reports have now confirmed that former Seattle Mariner, Miguel Cairo, has signed with the World Champion Philadelphia Phillies. Cairo an extremely versatile player, is a great asset that Phillies could use in key situations as a pinch hitter, or a even a backup player at any position.
Cairo saw time at all infield positions at one point or another for the Mariners in 2008. The “fightin Phils” have been searching for a right handed bat over the past few months and have even considered names like Nomar Garciaparra and Moises Alou.
Cairo batted .249 and tallied 23 total RBI’s in 221 at-bats last season in Seattle.
