Phillies add the best shortstop in the American League*

Moving to shore up the bench a little bit, a bench that has done virtually nothing at all, the Phillies made a small trade on Thursday, getting utility guy Brad Miller from the Yankees farm system.

The #Phillies have acquired INF Brad Miller from the Yankees for cash considerations. Miller is expected to join the Phillies this weekend in Atlanta.

It doesn’t amount to much, really, since Miller will only serve as depth anyway, but when you consider who he will be replacing, it makes a little more sense to get someone of his track record.
