Minor move. Phils sign Marquis.

Phillies sign Jason Marquis to a minor league contract. Recovering from Tommy John surgery he is expected to start throwing in July.

This is the problem with our farm system. Signing players that are not great prospects but hopefuls. We have a whole system full of hopefuls and when we do find a great prospect, he has to stay in the farm system to get that special Phillies "training".

Marquis is 35 years old. Amaro prefers players closer to his age.
