For the sixth time this offseason the Phillies have scrapped the bottom of the barrel and added a veteran free agent to fight for one or two final opening day roster spots.
Chris Cotillo from MassLive reports that the Phillies have signed Logan Forsythe, a 33-year-old infielder and former first round pick of the Padres in 2008.
Forsythe played 101 games for Texas last season hitting .227 with seven home runs, 17 doubles, and driving in 39 runs. After a steady run with San Diego and Tampa Bay Forsythe will join his fifth team in as many seasons looking to stick as a bench player.
