Star Wars: The Force Awakens Spoiler Free Post (#MTFBWY)

2015 Topps #131
I'm in the midst of a social media black-out since we're not seeing the new Star Wars movie until Saturday.  However, my phone still alerted me yesterday afternoon when the Phillies announced the signing of two more relievers to minor league contracts.  The suddenly crowded bullpen should hopefully be an upgrade over last season.  Actually, anything would pretty much be an upgrade over last season.

Andrew Bailey (rhp) - The Haddonfield, NJ resident was a two-time All-Star and won the A.L. Rookie of the Year award with the A's in 2009.  He hasn't come close to replicated his rookie season success over the past five seasons with the A's, Red Sox and Yankees.

Edward Mujica (rhp) - Mujica is a ten year veteran, and he split last season between the Red Sox and A's going 3-5 with a 4.75 ERA in 49 relief appearances.  He was an All-Star with the Cardinals in 2013.
