Phillips relies on his versatility
SARASOTA, Fla. -- Andy Phillips realized early on that versatility would be a key to him having a chance at career longevity.
That could serve him well as he fights for a spot on the Cincinnati bench. Phillips is one of three Reds in camp to have played every game this spring, and he's rarely in the same position two days in a row.
"If he's going to make this club, it's in his best interests to be versatile," manager Dusty Baker said. "We're pretty deep at first, pretty deep in the outfield. There's not a whole bunch of spots for him to play out there."
..."There are a couple of spots there that have pretty good competition," Baker said. "A lot depends on Gonzalez. His injury opened up a spot. I'm still weighing out the options. [Phillips] is in the mix, big time."
