Phillies sign Josh Fields to minor league contract
Former first-round pick and one-time top prospect Josh Fields has signed a
minor-league contract with the Phillies.
Once upon a time Fields was the White Sox’s third baseman of the future, but
after smacking 23 homers in 100 games as a rookie in 2007 he hit just .228
with 10 homers and a .649 OPS in his next 106 games.
Fields is 29 years old now and spent last season at Triple-A in the Dodgers’
farm system, hitting .288 with 13 homers and an .880 OPS in 133 games. Those
numbers look solid, but they’re not very impressive for a non-prospect
playing in the extremely hitter-friendly environment in Las Vegas of the
Pacific Coast League.
Fields has experience in the corner infield and corner outfield spots, so he’
ll compete for a bench gig during spring training.
