Phillies Deal for Taylor Featherston: Why?

Coming to the Phils is 26-year old infielder Taylor Featherston, who filled a utility infielder role with the Halos during his rookie season in Major League Baseball a year ago.

During that 2015 campaign, Featherston appeared in 39 games at 3rd base, 33 games at 2nd base, and another 22 games at shortstop. He hit for just a .162/.212/.247 slash line over 169 plate appearances in 101 total games. He produced a pair of home runs, drove in nine runs, scored 23 times, and stole four bases in six attempts.

The Phillies didn’t pay anything to acquire his services – yet.
