No way.Taschner is garbage even if he is lefty. Would you date an ugly blonde just because she's blonde? 2 million for 50 games? No way.

He can hit and is a pro. From looking at Taschner's MLB record, he looks like a project at best. But we didn't give up a lot for him and he is only 30. He may have an up side. He, at the least, provides competition for others and competition is said to bring the best out in athletes. We'll see. I am glad Coste is on the team. He can hit and is a pro.

Any way you look at it, Paulino was expendable and they needed depth in the bullpen. For at least 50 games, Taschner provides depth. He won't be J.C. Romero but he could be a solid situational lefty. If it doesn't pan out, you don't lose much as it seemed unlikely Paulino would make this team.The biggest impact this move will have is on the fifth starter competition. I don't think it means Happ has the inside track, but won impediment to him winning the gig has just been removed. In my mind, this is a low-risk move for the Phillies that could pay dividends.

But really, it seems that either Majewski or Koplove could be just as effective as Taschner at getting out lefties and righties both. And, now they both will likely start in Lehigh Valley.
