Matt Gelb of the Philadelphia Inquirer reports (Twitter link) that Philadelphia has signed Timo Perez to a minor-league contract and assigned the outfielder to Double-A.
The outfielder hasn't played in the majors since 2007, but he has been toiling in the independent leagues, Mexican League and (this season) for the Dodgers' Triple-A franchise, posting a .762 OPS in 123 plate appearances for Albuquerque.

He was a great bench player for the White Sox for a couple of years.

Timo may not bring excitement to Phillies fans everywhere, but he does have 2 World Series rings and he can still come off the bench and provide a better at bat than Dobbs from the left side!
