Lidge to DL; Bako Purchased

The Phillies placed Brad Lidge on the DL today with what they are calling a "sprained knee." Yeah, ok. Lidge was placed on the DL today to give him time to work on his mechanics and clear his head so that hopefully he can come back and pitch like 2008. The move is retroactive to June 7.

In a somewhat surprising move, the Phils purchased the contract of Paul Bako from AAA to fill the roster spot. I'm not quite sure what the thinking was behind bringing up a third catcher, especially one that adds yet another left handed bat to the bench. If anyone has any ideas, let me know.
