Could he be Brandon Phillips part deux?
Former top flight infield prospect came up in the NL East, traded to the Indians for a very nice big league return, never could quite put it together in Cleveland.
He's still quite young (24), bats righty, and at worst could be the serviceable platoon/backup guy at 1B and 3B, especially with Keppinger promoted out of that role and slated to start at SS. I'd take a chance if Cleveland DFA's him, which it appears they might just do...
