The Phillies signed the 33 year old to a 2 year deal for $13 million with an option for a 3rd described below.
They also signed 30 year old pitcher Chad Durbin."Durbin, 30, has a 25-37 career record in parts of eight seasons with Kansas City, Cleveland, Arizona and Detroit. He went 8-7 with a 4.72 ERA for the Tigers last season."
So the Phillies added some pitching depth and outfield depth, I like it. The only thing I don't like is the fact that Jenkins is basically an older, crappier Pat Burrell. O well, good luck to him, don't suck at the beginning or else Philly will hate you.
Merry Christmas everyone.
ESPN - Former Brewers outfielder Jenkins agrees with Phils - MLB: "If Jenkins makes a total of 925 plate appearances in the 2008-2009 seasons or 525 plate appearances in 2009, it would trigger a $7.5 million vesting option for 2010. If the agreement fails to vest, he and the Phillies have a mutual option for the third year."

Believe it or not, Chad Durbin is an upgrade over some of the starters and relievers we ran out to the mound last season.
