Well, back in the Philadelphia organization, maybe.
I wrote a couple days ago about Tony Thomas’s eventful year, and he’s only been in three organizations. This is what Erik Kratz (Waynesboro 2000, Harrisonburg 2001) has been through this year:
1. Fresh off a World Series in 2014, Erik opens the year with the Kansas City Royals.
2. He’s injured. After a rehab assignment, the Royals DFA (Designate for assignment) Erik. They have a couple
3. The Red Sox traded for him, and then DFA’d him soon after.
4. The Seattle Mariners signed him, and sent him to Triple-A Tacoma.
5. Erik opted out of his contract, and…
6. He’s now resigned with the Phillies, who sent him to Triple-A Lehigh Valley.
So now time will tell if the Phillies will need him at the major league level- like if they trade Carlos Ruiz, for example, or if someone gets hurt.
