And I'm not talking about Jonathan Papelbon surprisingly signing a one-year $9.35 million contract without a protracted or acrimonious delay. No, I'm talking about the return of a Philadelphia legend: Brandon Duckworth, who signed a minor league deal with the Phillies.
In his initial stint as a Phillie, which lasted from 2001 until he was traded for Billy Wagner after the 2003 season, Christine and I called him Mr. Stinkypants just because he usually stunk up the joint. But we said it with affection and look forward to reliving those days - without the stinking up the joint part - even though he signed a minor league deal without an invitation to spring training.
That doesn't bode well for anyone hoping for a Duck Pond reunion this summer.
