Always on top of the IronPigs news, Allentown Morning Call reporter Jeff Schuler was kind enough to pass along the news that relief pitcher Brian Gordon has re-signed with the Phillies organization where he threw in 40 games in both long relief and as a set up man. Gordon was among the most reliable Lehigh Valley relievers over the course of the season with a 3.46 ERA and a 1.17 WHIP.
According to Schuler, who spoke to a Phillies official, Melvin Dorta, Ozzie Chavez, Ehren Wasserman, Brian Mazone, Ty Taubenheim, and Alex Concepcion all will not be coming back to the organization.
And….41 days until Pitchers and Catchers.
