The Philadelphia Phillies release Willy Taveras
The Phillies have seen enough of Willy Taveras so they have released him. The 28-year old righty swinging CF played in 23 games in AAA-ball for the Phillies this year and he was 20 of 96 (.208 avg, .526 OPS) with 10 runs scored, 3 RBIs and 9 stolen bases. He played in 27 games with the Nationals earlier this year and he was 7 of 35 (.200 avg, .500 OPS) with 7 runs scored, 4 RBIs and 1 stolen base. The Phillies won’t miss him as they have a lot of depth in the outfield.
