OXON HILL, Md. Swell Water Bottle Clearance . -- Reliever Joaquin Benoit and the Philadelphia Phillies finalized a $7.5 million, one-year contract, part of the teams efforts to rebuild its bullpen.Its important in a bullpen to have different styles of pitchers, right? Philadelphia general manager Matt Klentak said Tuesday at the winter meetings. Ideally, youd have some righties and some lefties and some more experienced players blended with some younger players, and fastballs and sliders and curveballs.Benoit, a 39-year-old right-hander, has had an ERA under 3.00 for six of the past seven years. He was 3-1 with a 2.81 ERA last season, including a 0.38 ERA after the Toronto Blue Jays acquired him from Seattle in July for reliever Drew Storen. Benoit averaged 9.75 strikeouts per nine innings.Over the last seven seasons, Benoit has a 0.98 WHIP (walks and hits per inning), trailing only Kenley Jansen (0.89) and Craig Kimbrel (0.95) around the majors in that span. Benoit has 51 saves in 712 big league games.The deal comes about a month after the Phillies acquired righty reliever Pat Neshek in a trade with the Houston Astros and exercised a club option for $6.5 million in 2017 for him.The 36-year-old Neshek was 2-2 with a 3.06 ERA in 60 relief appearances with Houston last season, holding right-handed hitters to a .172 average and compiling 43 strikeouts in 47 innings.We dont have a premier closer, which wed love to have. But last year we didnt either. ... Somebody is going to be capable of doing that, Phillies manager Pete Mackanin said. What we have now is a deeper bullpen, with more experience, better pitchers.Last season, the Phillies were 14-3 in one-run games as of May 15, then went only 14-20 the rest of the way in such contests, along the way to finishing 71-91 and in fourth place in the NL East.I feel now, with the addition of Benoit and Neshek, we got better for even the fifth and the sixth, and if (Jeanmar) Gomez ends up closing, or hes down in the fifth or sixth, depending on how it all ends up, were obviously deeper and better because of that, Mackanin said. Were going to have a lot of flexibility with that.Game notes Klentak called Tommy Joseph the teams everyday first baseman as of now. Tommy showed pretty well for himself all year long and were excited to see what he can do in more of a regular role this coming year, Klentak said. Joseph hit .257 with 21 homers and 47 RBI in 315 at-bats last season. ... Benoits deal was negotiated by agents Sam and Seth Levinson. ...

Number values assigned are out of five with five being the best performance. Corey Crawford - 5 - Game 5 was a huge bounce back game for Crawford. He showed his ability to have amnesia in the playoffs once again; to forget any bad goals or criticism directed toward him. His positioning was very strong, he was aggressive on every puck, and was great in the third period where he made four ten-bell saves to keep Chicago ahead. Swell Marble Water Bottle. Tuukka Rask - 4- Once again Rask gave the Bruins a chance to win. He had no chance on Chicagos first goal as it changed directions two different times. His ability to move laterally while still being square to the puck was on display as he made the save of the game on Patrick Sharp in the second period. He was brilliant in the third period as he made five huge stops as the Bruins tried to get the equalizer. ' ' '
