Phillies invite Cedric Hunter to spring training

Let's deepen that outfield pool, everybody.

It was starting to be a while since the Phillies last did a thing, but a thing they did on this very day by inviting outfielder Cedric Hunter to spring training.

Hunter is a minor league lifer, having spent ten years in the lower realms of the Padres, Cardinals, Indians, and Braves organizations since the age of 18. In that time, he's put together a slash line of .288/.348/.413.

The Padres took him in 2006 from a disappointing offering from the Georgia baseball talent pool, but he was believed by some to be San Diego's best asset at the time.
