There are some moves in baseball that simply move under the radar. This signing in particular is one of those. Because I don't have much information to give you, here's the tweet from the man himself:
Time to pick up the baseball bat again. I am officially a Philadelphia @Phillies. Lookin forward to a new opportunity & great year ahead!
— Barry Enright (@BarryEnright45) January 23, 2014
Right-hander Enright (career 7-13, 5.57 ERA) has made career stops in both Arizona and Los Angeles. A starter for a majority of his games, Enright will likely fall into the bullpen with the Phillies, though, he may compete for a starting role during Spring Training. This is all speculation, though, as there is not much information available. We'll update you when there is.
Enright already updated his personal website with a picture of himself photoshopped into a Phillies uniform. He kind of looks like Zach Miner, no?
Seriously? You turned his tweet into an article. What kind of "blog" are you? What did you offer me that that tweet didn't? #useless

Thank you for that graphic. Minor league deal most likely, and you're labeling him "starting pitcher, Philadelphia Phillies" what an embarrassment to journalism. This "website" is a glorified (using that term loosely) Twitter feed. He hasn't thrown a pitch in a Philly uniform, but you're willing to make a graphic about him? Due to the lack of information? Please defend this article and graphic, because there are plenty of Philly baseball blogs out there who offer original commentary, rather than some high school kid who turns tweets into articles (Matt). Interested to see the response, as I am very connected in the advertising scene in Philly, and know how much this website has been looking for coverage, giving all of us here a good chuckle.

Hi "B". Not sure who this Matt is you speak of, but there is no Matt who writes for us. If you'd love to gives us your actual name, we'd love to have a conversation about your comments. Not everyone is on Twitter and would like to hear about any news that breaks. I guess you don't, but thanks for reading anyway.
