According to this rather bizarre report in the Chicago Tribune, it appears former Phillies first baseman Jim Thome may be the victim of identity theft. A 38-year-old man was arrested with the IDs of nearly 90 baseball players, including Thome. Mets outfielder Moises Alou and pitching ace Pedro Martinez were also among the potential victims.Also, two players with major-league experience may comprise the Phillies' middle infield at Class AAA Ottawa next season. The Phils have signed 33-year-old Lou Collier and 29-year-old Brent Abernathy to minor-league contracts. Collier is a .241 hitter over parts of eight seasons in the majors, including 32 games with the Phillies in 2004. Abernathy is a .244 hitter in 232 major-league games with Tampa Bay (2001-03), Kansas City (2003) and Minnesota (2005).
