Phils keep old man Moyer, add Park; Utley optimistic about recovery

Moyer has a limited no-trade provision that allows him to block trades to six teams, no more than four in a league.

Park was quoted by the Korea Times as saying the Phillies considered him a starter, but Amaro declined to say whether Park will compete for a starting spot or pitch in relief. The 35-year-old went 4-4 with a 3.40 ERA in 54 appearances for the Los Angeles Dodgers last season, going 1-0 with a 2.16 ERA in five starts. He could compete with Kyle Kendrick, J.A. Happ and prospect Carlos Carrasco for the fifth spot in the rotation.

Park can earn an additional $2.5 million in performance bonuses.

Utley walked into his news conference with an exaggerated limp, but said he hoped to be ready for the start of the season April 5.

"I'm feeling good," said Utley, whose right hip was operated on Nov. 24. "I don't see any reason why I won't be ready for the start of the season barring any setbacks."

Utley acknowledged that he played through much of the 2008 season with a bad right hip. He hit .292 with 33 homers and 104 RBI, but appeared to wear down as the season progressed.

His next evaluation is scheduled to take place in about a month.

"I'm young and I think it was the best course of action," he said. "It's a problem that I've probably had for a long time. I don't play soft and I think it worked out pretty well."
