The Phillies have signed 34-year old lefty swinging reserve outfielder David Newhan to a minor league contract. Newhan played in 64 games for the Astros last season and he was 27 for 104 (.260 avg, .701 OPS) with 11 runs scored, 2 homers and 12 RBIs. He has now played in 413 games in his major league career and he is 249 for 986 (.253 avg, .692 OPS) with 148 runs scored, 23 homers, 120 RBIs and 29 stolen bases. This signing could help the Phillies down the road as Newhan is a decent bench player.
