BY SCOTT LAUBERCLEARWATER, Fla. -- This just in ...
The Phillies have signed utility infielder Miguel Cairo to a minor-league contract with an invitation to spring training, which means he'll be in camp by Tuesday for the first full-squad workout. Cairo, 34, batted .249 with 23 RBIs in 221 at-bats last season for the Mariners. He's a .266 career hitter in 13 seasons with the Blue Jays (1996), Cubs (1997, 2001), Devil Rays (1998-2000), Cardinals (2001-03, 2007), Yankees (2004, 2006-07), Mets (2005) and Mariners (2008).
So, where, exactly, does Cairo fit in? Well, he's a right-handed hitter, and he can play nearly every position. Last year, he played 70 games at first base, 19 at third base, five at second base, two in left field, one in right field and one at shortstop.
More later.
