The Philadelphia Phillies signed a couple of pitchers to hold down spots in the bullpen for the 2008 season.  Ryan Madson re-signed with the Phillies for one year at $1.4 million and Brad Lidge signed a contract for one year and $6.35 million.

So between the two players, the Phillies commited close to $8 million dollars between to relief pitchers.  Two of the better ones in the game though, so I think it is a good move.  You can never have too many good relief pitchers in baseball.  Lets hope Lidge recovers from his bad 07 season with the Houston Astros.
