J.C. Romero has returned to the Phillies

In a move that was expected ever since the deal with Dennys Reyes fell through, the Phillies have re-signed J.C. Romero. Romero, who became a free agent after the Phillies declined his one year option worth 4.5 million, signed a one year deal worth somewhere around a million bucks to return to Philadelphia.

While the Phillies could probably do better than Romero as a lefty option out of the pen, for the right price, he should slide nicely back into his bullpen role. The Phillies 'pen appears to be just about completed, although there seems to be something holding up the a re-signing of Chad Durbin, the long-reliever that is the last missing piece.
