Phils land lefty

In the Ronnie Paulino trade, Philadelphia landed lefty Jake Taschner. He's a fill-in for JC Romero while Romero serves his 50-game suspension.
Taschner was 3-2 with a 4.88 ERA in 67 games last season. He gives the Phillies another left-hander in the bullpen to go with Scott Eyre. J.C. Romero was suspended the first 50 games for using a banned substance.
Taschner, however, is no Romero. He's unlikely to see many - if any - save opportunities in Philly.
