The Milwaukee Brewers sign catcher Paul Phillips
The Brewers have signed 34-year old righty swinging catcher Paul Phillips to a minor league deal. Phillips played in 78 games in AAA-ball for the Indians last year and he was 63 of 266 (.220 avg, .703 OPS) with 26 runs scored, 3 homers and 24 RBIs. He last played in the majors back in 2010 with the Rockies. Phillips has played in 91 games in his first seven years in the majors and he is 58 of 221 (.262 avg, .655 OPS) with 27 runs scored, 3 homers and 26 RBIs. The Brewers will likely stash Phillips in AAA-ball in 2012.
