Pending Physical, Benson Is A Phillie
Ken Mandel at MLB.com writes about Kris Benson signing with the Phillies:
On the eve of pitchers and catchers reporting to Spring Training, the Phillies added veteran free agent Kris Benson to their inventory of arms.
The right-hander, the No. 1 overall pick in the June 1996 First-Year Player Draft, agreed on Wednesday to a Minor League deal, pending a physical.
The Phillies dispatched Chuck LaMarr, the team's director of professional scouting, to watch Benson throw twice near his Atlanta home. LaMarr reported that Benson was at "60-70 percent" of his velocity and might not be ready for Opening Day.
